Book Reviews of H is for Hair Fairy: An Alphabet of Encouragement and Insight for Kids (and Kids at Heart!) with Cancer
Book Review: A book full of encouragement and understanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll never forget the during freshman year when the entire band was called down to hear from a nurse from the pediatric oncology unit at St. Vincent's hospital. We were all there because on of our band members and friends, Andrea Martin, had been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer after having a rib removed the summer before. That day I was not only introduced to the specifics of Andrea's case, I was also introduced to a book her mother, Kim, and her had been creating together to help get them through that time in their lives. After losing one child to cancer years before, the Martin's certainly know the physical and emotional pain that cancer causes not only the patient but their family. This is an amazingly uplifting and encouraging books, that not only helps cancer patients feel less scared and confused, but also lets them see their condition just as something to deal with and not worry about. Adorable illustrations and great writing help bring the message of the story of the Hair Fairies to life. I reccomend this book to anyone, young and old, who is dealing with cancer or knows someone who has been affected by it.

Summary of H is for Hair Fairy: An Alphabet of Encouragement and Insight for Kids (and Kids at Heart!) with Cancer
An alphabet book with a mission, this 32-page picture book will inspire, comfort, educate and encourage children being treated for cancer. Using colorful, warm, humorous illustrations and verse, the author employs the alphabet to feature different aspects of coping with cancer treatment. Many pages include practical information about where to find help or relief for children at this challenging time in their lives. Mr. and Mrs. Hair Fairy, creations of the author, are a humorous pair who visit cancer patients on the day they lose their hair and leave them a gift. They also watch over cancer patients and guide us through this heartwarming book of encouragement. Although written for children, the book is great for people of all ages. H is for Hair Fairy: An Alphabet of Encouragement and Insight for Kids (and Kids at Heart!) With Cancer kicks off the Hair Fairy Project created by the author in memory of her son, Nolan (1985-1993), who went through cancer twice before the age of eight, and in honor of her 17-year-old daughter Andrea, a cancer survivor, who finished treatment for bone cancer in 2004. This non-profit project brings joy and encouragement to children with cancer.Teens Books
