A heartfelt and inspiring story that gives hope to children of all ages facing cancer and other childhood illnesses. This is a charming, kid-friendly, and original picture book by author/storyteller Mardie Caldwell Christensen that is supported with beautiful illustrations by Barbara Wirth. This story will gently remind a hurting child that they can be heroes to others. Unreservedly recommended for families, daycare centers, preschools, elementary schools, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4-8.

This book was so touching, and I think it’d be so great for little girls who are battling cancer to read. My oldest daughter, Frankie, was diagnosed with stage 4, high-risk Neuroblastoma at 2 years old. Her prognosis was not good. She endured many different treatments over the span of three years. (Her disease was very stubborn and wouldn’t go away) Some treatments were excruciatingly painful for her. But she shocked her doctors by surviving. Frankie is a walking miracle, and by the grace of God, with us today at age 9.
