In this vibrantly illustrated book, kids are given a top secret mission: take care of Mommy after her mastectomy. Written by a mastectomy'd mom of two, the book's relatable experiences and memorable characters (avocados play a pivotal role in the operating room) will help parents and kids explore a tough topic, as a family. In the end, children will feel more prepared for what lies ahead, and how they can help Mom recover.
After almost 20 years listening to families at different points in the previvor and survivor journey, I am often asked: how do you talk to the kids? Now when it comes to the mastectomy, there is a helpful resource. What I love about 'M is for Mastectomy' is that it gives parents an entry point for a conversation with their children. The book does not shy away from the physicality of the procedure, gently guides how to interact with mom, and opens a door to discussing how everyone may be feeling. A practical yet tonally playful children's book about mastectomies has been oddly absent, until now.
