"butterfly kisses and wishes on wings"

When Nanci Hersh was diagnosed with cancer, one of her first thoughts was, “How do I tell my boys?” Hearing her concern, Nanci’s cousin Ellen McVicker gave her the words she needed to help her explain the unexplainable: mommy has cancer.

Two years later, the cousins decided to help other parents/adults by turning Ellen’s simple yet honest words and Nanci’s exquisite illustrations into “Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings – When someone you love has cancer … a hopeful, helpful book for kids.”

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re giving away an autographed copy of the book exclusively to StyleSubstanceSoul subscribers. If you are fortunate to not have someone in your life with cancer, or you don’t have kids, the cousins ask you to “Gift It Forward” to a local library, school, family doctor, member of the clergy or hospice. You may not need it, but there is a child out there who does.
