Book for Children: Nowhere Hair by Sue Glader
|
Item Code: Book/nowhere
|
Not just for children and grandchildren of breast cancer patients! Nowhere Hair by Sue Glader was made for children who are close to anyone dealing with hair loss resulting from their cancer treatment. Simply written and beautifully illustrated, this book is a must-read for young children in need of explanation and reassurance while a loved one undergoes chemotherapy.
The little girl in Nowhere Hair knows her mother's hair is missing. In trying to solve that mystery, the story reveals that her mother, although going through cancer treatment, is still silly, attentive, fashionable, happy, and yes, sometimes very tired and cranky. Nowhere Hair helps prepare young ones for living with someone going through chemotherapy. It does the heavy lifting, without being heavy. It addresses a child's guilt, fear, sadness and anxiety with a light touch. It is silly and upbeat and involves many crazy hats and a strikingly cool-looking bald woman. What elevates this from a book simply about cancer to something worthwhile for all children is the underlying and clear theme of being kind to those that might look different than you, and realizing that what is inside of us is far more important than how we look on the outside. Sue Glader wrote Nowhere Hair to be a conversation starter between child and adult, because the words are hard to find when you are in the midst of it all.
Praise for Nowhere Hair (from back cover):
Nowhere Hair provides a great starting place for talking to children about cancer. It has just the right tone and provides comfort and solace - to the young and the not so young! Who should read this book? Every child of every mother and grandmother going through chemotherapy. It will build empathy in young children and help them to relate through beautiful and touching illustrations. --Dr. Laura Esserman, Director of UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center.
Humor. Sensitivity. Positive images. Now, when a woman asks "How am I going to tell my young child I'm going to lose my hair?" I have the perfect book. --Diane Brandon, Cancer Resource Specialist, Marin Cancer Institute.
Cancer rocks the world of a child when the adults they love face the dark corridors of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This beautifully illustrated and sensitively crafted children's story will be read over and over by children and their grown-ups. Complex issues such as guilt, blame, body image changes and fear are addressed and navigated. Pick up this book. --Deborah Hamolsky RN, MS, AOCNS, UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center.
Growing up, I was exposed to many women diagnosed with breast cancer because of my mother's job. When you are young, it is hard to grasp the significance and entirety of such an enormous life change. This book would have definitely been a source of comfort, with its captivating and disarming illustrations and reassuring narrative. --Marisa Endicott, age 19.
