The famous hat (Special Stories Series 1)

We absolutely love this book. This is the second copy we’ve purchased and it was to gift to another childhood cancer family. There aren’t many books out there on the subject as it is but our girl really favored this one.

I ordered this book when I found out that my five year old grandson would be going through chemotherapy and losing his hair as a result. The story was well written in a light humorous style that communicated what happens and prepares a child for the upcoming change. It also emphasized that there wasn't anything wrong or weird with the child - it was simply a temporary change as a result of a needed treatment. In my family's initial meeting and conversation with my grandson's medical team, the team's L.C.S.W. indicated that she always had a copy on hand to lend to patients - so, I was happy that I had unwittingly purchased something that professionals thought well of too. In any event, it is lovely story and a light handed way to help a small child understand their current circumstance.

We bought this book to help my four-year-old daughter understand that she was going to lose her hair with her cancer treatments. She loved this book! We read every night for a few weeks. It breaks it down to the most basic level and makes it seem like losing her hair is an experience only very few special kids have. I would recommend it if you have to help anyone cope with childhood cancer.

This book is great to teach any little child about cancer.

I purchased this book to include in a "care package" for a three year old little girl.She was just starting chemotherapy. The book was well received bythe entire family. The knowledge we are not alone in our trials and tribulations iscomforting.

This is a great way to explain cancer to children. I purchased this book to donate it to the children's ward at the cancer institute. The nurses LOVED it too. :)

Great book for children going through serious health issues. I bought it to read to my daughter who will be under going heart surgery. It relates to the positive experiences that comes with healing.

This book helped my granddaughter understand her leukemia. It made her feel like she wasn't alone.
