An ache in Nancy’s breast sent her to the doctor, where a
mammogram delivered the devastating diagnosis: breast cancer. There
was no lump, no tumor as with most cases of breast cancer. Instead,
the cancer dotted all of Nancy’s breast tissue. With no removable
lump, Nancy’s only option was a double radical mastectomy.As
result of the difficulties she had faced raising young children and
coping with such a serious disease, Nancy developed When Mommy Had
a Mastectomy to help other women with young children also facing
breast cancer. Specifically, she wanted to address how life at home
can change when a mother has a mastectomy resulting in limited
energy and mobility while she recovers.When Mommy Had a Mastectomy
is a children’s book that explains, in a simple and clear manner,
why Mommy is sick. It tells the story of a mother and daughter
discovering new ways to show they care despite a painful
illness.Pairing enchanting illustrations and an engaging story,
When Mommy Had a Mastectomy is sure to be a treasured book that
will help children and their parents through a difficult time and
will provide a fond memory for families to reflect on and share
after tragedy.

of us are struggling to just get by. With vivid, energetic
illustrations, the use of graphs and charts, and tips for how to
investigate topics of interest, readers learn the most important

of inequality.

Life on his family’s Central Oregon ranch is pretty good for shy,
bookish Jasper, except for two problems. He longs for a dog of his
own and he is a target for the school bully, Colton. For Jasper’s
twelfth birthday he is allowed to choose a dog from the local
shelter, and he feels an intense bond with Willie, an old dog whose
blind eyes seem to see into Jasper’s heart. Jasper has faith in
his new companion, Willie, even though he is nothing like
Colton’s dog, the fastest agility racing dog in the county. At
the County Fair that year, Colton’s little sister disappears from
the fairgrounds as wildfires rage nearby. Will Jasper and Willie be
able to help find the girl in time and prove Willie’s worth to
the others?

friend, and why do we need them so much? This insightful guide

a good friend and whether we need best friends. It provides advice
on recognizing fake and toxic friendships, surviving fall-outs and
break-ups, and building resilience while successfully navigating

also help for those coping with bullying and unkind behaviour, both
on and offline.
A humorous new book from the acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke
Yoshitake. Everyone has something that makes them feel
self-conscious. It might be the smell of your breath, the size of
your nose, or the way your shirt sleeves bunch up under your
jumper. At the centre of this story is a little boy who has a small
but embarrassing problem: every time he pees, a few drops dribble
on to his underpants. Curious, he asks other children if they have
the same issue. He soon discovers a simple life lesson: everyone is
battling some kind of irritation.
