Nellie ’ s Walk C . L . Stiverson
During a walk one autumn afternoon , Nellie and her mother meet a goldfinch . The colorful bird leads them through the woods , teaching Nellie about nature ’ s transformation during this time of year . Nellie ’ s mother uses the changes happening in the forest to explain the transformation that occurs in people receiving chemotherapy .
At one point during their walk , Nellie ’ s mother removes her hat , revealing her hairless head , and explains that her appearance is a sign of the healing process rather than illness .
“ When I am finished with the chemotherapy , my hair will grow back , like the leaves that return to the trees when winter ends ,” her mother says .
Her explanation helps Nellie to understand the changes her mother is going through , just as this beautifully illustrated children ’ s book will provide opportunities for people with cancer , caregivers , friends , and family to talk with their younger loved ones about a sensitive topic in a realistic yet nonthreatening way . 2016 . 36 pages . Softcover .
