"Laura sent me your book H is for Hair Fairy because I just recently
got diagnosed with a brain tumor and am now going through chemo and radiation.....
I guess I am the young at heart. I am keeping a good positive and spiritual attitude.
I absolutely loved the message in your book. Laura has been a lifelong friend and sister.
I care about her very much."
"I would like to send 2 copies of your book to [a friend in Arizona]. She will enjoy the book and will be giving one to a preschool that she used to teach at for those families in need." --Thank you, Darla Curl "I received the book day before yesterday. I have looked it over several times, and find it delightful, informative and full of hope. I LOVE IT! It is very professionally presented, and I am going to push it with everyone I know. Wend's illustrations are colorful, charming and very applicable to each subject of each letter. I LOVE THEM, ESPECIALLY THE GIRAFFE NURSE!" "My 1st cousin is fighting a very rare bone cancer... I truly believe, that even though he is an adult, that he would really love this book." --Ruth McKnight "I have been working with people experiencing all types of hair loss (mostly chemo related) for the past 21 years... I think there are a lot of people out there young and old hairy or hairless that will enjoy your book." --Chris Lilley, stylist specializing in hair replacement "We really think that this is a wonderful project and we have already been talking about it to friends and family. Cancer has touched many families including my own (my sister is a survivor) and your efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you again for including Glue Dots!" --Jenny Mueller, CSR for Glue Dots International "I just saw and read "H is for Hair Fairy" and wanted to tell you what an outstanding loving, and caring contribution you have made! It as a very spiritual message - finding the wonder in every day and using as many smiles as possible along the way." "I think this is one more way to make kids feel special in a good way - that they matter and contribute, no matter what is happening to, or around them. The 'Songs of Love' project has been hugely successful - a very special and loving touch for the kids." "I just can't thank you enough for sharing your love, energy, time, talent and spirituality with us and so many." --Dr. Wagner, Oncologist, Cincinnati Children's Hospital "Just got done reading your delightful book with my 7 year old daughter who has recently relapsed with ALL in her central nervous system. We have been in the hospital (Childrens Memorial -Chicago). She loved the book and related to it much. We both laughed at the Hair Fairys. I picked up your book at clinic the other day and when sharing it with some nurses and residents just now they wondered where they could get more... Thank you for writing such a great book." --Lisa D. "I was so excited when Kim brought me this work of love for children! Bibliotherapy is so important, as it brings information to the readers whenever and wherever they open the pages." "I have worked with children and families for years, and have been frustrated by the lack of resources to help them cope with cancer. A book that speaks to kids, written in a lighthearted yet understandable fashion is now available." "It is my hope that parents will read this with their children. For those kids and parents who feel so alone in their experiences, they will find comfort and an ability to relate to the information contained in this book. It can be such a wonderful tool to help both professional and non-professionals to explore the children's feelings and experiences of being a cancer patient." --Nancy J. Motter, RN, MSN, CS, Clinical Child Specialist "I was so glad to finally get a copy of your book! It is very powerful. I loved how you used all your children's names in the illustrations somewhere. It was fun for me to find them." "I read it to my class this morning and was moved to tears. We talked about how good can come of even tragic events in our lives, and how wonderful it was for you to write a book to help children with cancer because of Nolan's and Andrea's battles." "Thank you for blessing the world with your gift of writing." --Mrs. Crawford, 5th grade teacher |
