About the Author
Laura Numeroff
Best-selling children's author Laura Numeroff developed The Hope Tree to help children better understand and cope with breast cancer -- how it affects not only their mother, but the entire family as well. Laura has received international recognition for such books as If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Pig a Pancake.
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 4-A comforting picture book written to help children cope with a mother's breast cancer. The authors have created 10 "testimonials" by animal characters in an imaginary support group, allowing each of them to talk about issues they are facing. The "narrators," all between the ages of 5 and 12, describe how the family reacted to the diagnosis, meeting the doctors and nurses, trying to look for good things among the bad, and dealing with scary emotions, and they offer hints for helping Mom feel better. In the final spread, "Jessie, age 9 1/2," expresses her feelings and creates a hope tree, each leaf representing one wish for the future. The writing styles change with the age of the animal. McPhail's full-page illustrations of the animal children in typical human situations are appealing, and his colors are soft and reassuring. Young children of women with breast cancer, often stifled by the chaos and fear experienced by the family, would greatly benefit from the discussions this book should stimulate and the comfort it provides.
