Wondeful Wigs

Tells a story of Aisha, an eight year old girl, reliving her experience with cancer, and the loss of her hair. Her mother takes her to a wig store to help her find something to make her feel more comfortable with her hairloss. What does she find? Join her as she travels down memory lane. The feelings she had before, during and after treatment, and how she overcame them. It is a reassuring book that can help relieve some of the fears and questions that any child battling cancer, or a child that may have a loved one undergoing cancer treatment may have. Especially issues of hair loss, rejection, and self esteem. It is an effective tool that may help open the lines of communication between child and adult. Jack III created effective illustrations to ease any discomfort you may have while trying to explain cancer to a child. It is a helpful and much needed resource and tool.
