Inhaltsangabe

Cancer is a terrible disease that affects so many families all over the world. Children and adults find it difficult to understand as well as to talk about together. In this story, as with most of internationally renowned author Terri Kelley's stories, readers will find a tool to help them start their discussion about this painful subject. In the story, a young girl finds out that her beloved mother has cancer. At first, the mother vows that she will fight the disease and win. However, as the story progresses, the mother loses her battle with cancer. Before she leaves this earth, the mother tells her daughter and husband that they must not let cancer win by stealing their precious memories of each other and replacing them with only memories of the disease. While still hurting, the girl understands and remembers that her mother is always with her through faith. This story provides a gateway for caregivers and their children to talk about cancer, their loved ones who are ill or who have passed away, and their loving memories of the times they shared together.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Terri Kelley, M.Ed, is the internationally renowned author of the series of Writing Is a Process books, many other children’s picture books, as well as of the chapter book series, Gingerly. Her passion for writing and reading began when she was a very young girl. She was raised in Copperas Cove, Texas where she grew up in the country with horses and lots of freedom to explore her environment. It was an idyllic childhood that allowed her to use her imagination daily. Terri is the mother of three. Terri raised her kids in Granbury, TX and Tomball, TX. Both of these communities offered excellent schools and a country atmosphere that Terri enjoys. Terri still has ties to both towns as well as treasured friends in both places. As an adult, Terri has held a couple of different careers. After twenty successful years in business-to-business sales, Terri decided to change careers and teach. Her first teaching job was with Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District in Houston, TX. After a few years there, she became a teacher, a reading specialist, and a gifted and talented specialist in Tomball, TX. It was while she taught that she became aware of the kinds of books children enjoyed reading. She also noticed areas in need of good children’s books. You will find many of her books respond to these needs. Terri is very happily married to her best friend, Michael. Together, they live near Augusta, Georgia with their black Labrador, Oliver and Daisy, their newest edition, a while Labrador. Terri and Michael enjoy traveling together, fishing, going to the movies, treasure hunting (at garage sales and thrift stores), and, of course, reading great books. They have many good friends with whom they enjoy spending time as well.
