This is a good book for many reasons. 1) a lot of kids deal with cancer, either with a parent, a grandparent, a friend. 2) it is from the point of view of someone other than a white child which i think is important for the children of my classroom to see. This is also a super cute message about doing something for his mom when she didnt ask which is always a good thing for kids to be thinking. ( )

In my opinion this is an amazing book that deals with the struggles children face when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. I loved the development of Marcus throughout the story. Marcus is a boy with a huge heart who will do anything to make his mother smile again after she loses her hair. For example, he goes down a halloween aisle at a store and brings her wigs to try on. We even see him cutting off all his hair in hopes of giving it to his mother. Finally we see Marcus accept and realize although his mother has no hair and is sick she still loves him and will always be with him. Readers are able to empathize for Marcus and place themselves in his shoes. Even though the book addresses a tough issue it shows real life battles that cancer patients may face and broadens reader’s perspectives. For example, Marcus’ mother is show to be tired and weak throughout the novel, mentioning the symptoms of chemotherapy. The big message in this story raises awareness of cancer and allows readers to know that their loved ones still care about them even though they may be sick. ( )

In my opinion, this is a very touching book. It's about a woman (mom) who loses her hair due to undergoing chemotherapy, so her son who feels bad for her, goes to get all of his hair cut off for her so he can make her a wig with his own hair. First, the characters are well- developed and believable because cancer is something that happens on a regular basis and affects families like this all of the time. The gesture this little boy (the son) took was very sweet and is something a child in real life might do to make their parents happy during a rough time. In addition, I liked this book because the plot was a little suspenseful because the boy got his hair cut without his parents' knowledge or approval, so the whole time while this was happening, I wondered if he was going to get in trouble and what his parents' reactions would be.

Amazing story about a little boy that wants his mother to be in the family picture and is determine to make it happen. This book can relate to many child who's parents are battling cancer. ( )
