  • “Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings” by Ellen McVicker

    Cathy recommends: Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings by Ellen McVicker

    Genre: Junior nonfiction

    Reading Level: Age 3-8

    Summary: How a child can deal with a loved one’s cancer diagnosis and treatment.

    Cathy says: When my sons were 10 and 4, I had cancer and was very sick with the treatments. This book would have been helpful. It’s written with insight as to the questions a child would come up with, not the least of all, “Will you die?” This came from my 10 year old and it echoes in my heart to this day.

    This book is available at Tyler Free Library.

  • “Little Pink Pup” by Johanna Kerby

    Cathy recommends: Little Pink Pup by Johanna Kerby

    Genre: Picture book

    Reading Level: Age 1-6

    Summary: For children who think they are different from the rest of their families; they love you just the same.

    Cathy says: Many children today are living with nonbiological parents and/or siblings. This book shows that even though you may look different, you’re still family. It’s about acceptance; receiving it and giving it.
