Did you know that our universe is constantly expanding?
When we look up at the stars, they’re mixing and moving, flaring and fading.
Just like you grow each and every day, change is all around us.
I am changing, too.
In a beautiful text that all families facing serious illness can relate to, a mother explains her own illness and changing body to her child. Offering comfort, guidance, and explanation, the mother reassures her daughter that no matter how life unfolds in the journey ahead, their love for one another will always stay strong.
Lyrically written by Paula Schneider, a breast cancer survivor herself and CEO of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and gorgeously illustrated by Nicole Wong, whose family was also touched by cancer, this powerful story shows families that they are not alone.
The author's net proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Nicole Wong was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, to two artist parents, so never thought of becoming anything except an illustrator. She drew constantly as a girl—including on the walls behind furniture, where her mom would find drawings years later. She received her first freelance illustration job when she was twelve, then graduated from RISD with a BFA in illustration at twenty-two. Now, she's happily a full-time illustrator of children’s books. She continues to live in Fall River with her husband, daughter, mean kitty, and happy, high energy dogs. She can be found online at Nicole-Wong.com.
