Praise for this book
"...captures the turmoil, uncertainty, sadness, and anxiety of watching a loved one go through illness and wanting things to go back to normal, and it ends with a celebration of finding a new normal. Gilland's illustrations use gorgeous layered colors, patterns, and clean lines with plenty of white space for thoroughly engaging pictures. ... Lovely and healing." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED
"This reassuring work provides comfort to a young child struggling to understand a serious illness, and is a testament that the close bonds between siblings can withstand even the worst storms." -- The Horn Book Magazine
"Ultimately, this is a story about family relationships, love, and showing up for one another even when you're scared. This is a warm and gentle book to start conversations with littles about serious illnesses, and to help them begin to make sense of it all. Although the story is about cancer, a timely connection can be made for children with family members with Covid." -- MaiStoryBook Library
"Award-winning author Clare Helen Welsh writes a stunning children's book that is gentle, kind, and understanding. In her modern, detailed style, artist Åsa Gilland incorporates flourishing natural elements and smartly drawn diverse characters. This heartwarming, mindful story can be a special tool for those difficult yet necessary conversations, especially for families dealing with the pain and emotional drain experienced during their loved one's treatment."
