"My husband is quite ill with cancer and we have two year old twin girls. I was determined that there be a book I could use to help them understand all of the changes in our house, and begin to give them some language to share what was happening. This book does everything I wanted. I cannot recommend this book enough, I have talked about it all over my community." - Book Review
