WHY WE LUV THESE
I love, love, love books! My two favorites are My Miracle by Bertha Melikyan. A story of a little creature who comes to find just how beautiful he is & as he shares his gifts everyone around him sees their own beauty as well. Excellent for the children in all of us.

The other is I Put the Can In Cancer. A terrificly empowering book with only a sentence or two per page & lots of illustrations. It is fun to read as well as insightful for anyone going through the process of having cancer, or anyone who loves someone going through this process. It’s also great for teaching children in a light way what it’s like to go through it. The author, Imogen Gough, realized when she was diagnosed with breast cancer that all the books out there were about things you couldn’t or shouldn’t do. So she decided to write a book about what you could do.
