About the Book

This is the story of the year my mother was bald, and it begins in June....

At first Mom didn't tell me that she might have a tumor, but I could tell that my parents were worried about something. They were spending a lot of time on the phone talking in serious voices, and forgot to remind me to practice the piano. I told myself that nothing was wrong, but deep inside I started to have a bad feeling that this wasn't going to be a regular summer.

So begins Clare's journal about the year her mother undergoes treatment for cancer. A scrapbook filled with drawings, photos, medical clippings, and resources, this book offers a wealth of information about the illness, its diagnosis, and treatment. And more, through heart-warming tales of her family's journey, Clare describes many new-found strengths and inadvertent joys, and gives reassuring voice to the feelings and questions of all young people who may be walking in her shoes. Includes a Note to the Reader and an extensive list of resources for further research and support.

From the Note to the Reader:

My daughter Amelia and I hope that this book will take away much of the mystery and fear surrounding cancer and its treatment. We also hope it will give you a opportunity to express your own feelings and questions about cancer....There are no right or wrong feelings; being able to say what YOU are feeling is what is most important--and most helpful.
About the Author: Ann Speltz grew up with seven brothers and sisters in a small town on the Mississippi River in southern Minnesota. She studied literature and art at Macalester College and received her PhD in English from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has been a university teacher and administrator, as well as an editor and developer of humanities curricula for elementary and secondary schools. After completing treatment for breast cancer in 1998, she founded Kid Support (www.kidsupport.org), a nonprofit organization that establishes adult-led peer support groups for the children of cancer patients. She lives with her husband and daughter in Evanston, Illinois.

Kate Sternberg grew up in western New York, where she graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and a master's in art education. She is the author and illustrator of Mama's Morning, and has illustrated several other children's books, including The Year My Mother was Bald, Oh Brother!, and the Phoebe Flower's Adventures series. Kate is also an art teacher at Stone Middle School in Fairfax County, Virginia.
