Molly wished for a dog. But her mom; busy, tired, and not a dog person, always said no. Then came the cancer. As Molly's mom begins her treatment and healing journey, Molly learns just how brave she can be. And when a scruffy shelter pup named Potato comes into their lives, everything begins to change.
Told in two voices-Molly & Potato: A (Human) Love Story and Potato & Molly: A (Canine) Love Tail-this heartfelt children's book explores how love, loss, and rescue go both ways. Both Molly and Potato wrestle with confusing feelings: guilt over finding joy after hardship, and the realization that sadness and happiness can exist together.Co-written by pediatrician and cancer survivor Dr. Kelly Curtin and her daughter Molly Hallinan, these mirrored stories gently show young readers that healing doesn't mean pretending, and that it's okay to be happy, sad, and everything in between. Through their love and support for each other, Molly and Potato learn that a sad past doesn't stop them from finding happiness in the present.
We created Molly & Potato to help children facing big feelings-grief, fear, confusion, and change-know they are not alone. Inspired by a real family, a real illness, and a very real rescue pup, this story is a reminder that even when life is hard, love can still find its way in. Whether your child is experiencing illness in the family, pet adoption, or just needs a story about kindness and healing, Molly & Potato is here to hold their hand (and paw).
