Synopsis

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:

"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."
