The Hare Who Lost Her Hair

This one-of-a-kind, powerful story was written to inspire young children and families undergoing chemotherapy. Without words like cancer and chemo, the kid-friendly tale follows a brave hare on her courageous journey to overcome illness and accomplish her dreams. Thought-provoking symbolism and imaginative storytelling reveal emotions and struggles similar to chemotherapy such as overcoming illness, losing hair and finding courage in difficult times. However, this book is not an explanation of cancer, chemotherapy or treatment side effects. It is an endearing story about hope, determination and living for the moment. When author Amy V. Leonard was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, her daughter was only three years old. Amy realized the need for a young children's book that tells a light-hearted story of hope. This book is about believing wishes can come true even in the most extreme circumstances. Ideal for early stage cancers because of the message.
