Are you looking for an engaging children's book to teach your kids about breast cancer? This is it!
"Mommy Has a Boo-Boo" helps kids ages 3-9 learn what their Mommy is going through. The book explains that you can't see the boo-boo and tells the kids what it is called: Cancer.
It goes through the timeline of what one mommy went through - from having surgery and losing her breasts, to having to go through chemotherapy and losing her hair.
Mommy may look different, and it will take time for Mommy to heal - but in the end, she will get better!
From Readers:
"Highly recommend. This story is a perfectly sweet, simple way to describe to your young child exactly what is to come. My daughter asks me to read it over and over and it helps stimulate great conversation and questions."
"This is an educational book that teaches young children about breast cancer. It is a good book that explains what a parent and family might go through when a parent has cancer. This book explains cancer in simple terms and can open up conversation at home."
Marci Greenberg Cox was born and raised in Solon, OH, and currently resides in Glendale, AZ. She is a full time Realtor but when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2018 she wrote a children's book to help in her healing process. Her kids were 1 and 5 at the time and trying to explain to them that mommy was going to lose her breasts was hard. Now with her positivity she is turning lemons into lemonade and helping other women get through this battle.
She recently collaborated with her daughter on two coloring books and is excited that her daughter is now an author at 8 years old!
