Because.someone I Love Has Cancer: Kids' Activity Book | American Cancer Society

My dad had cancer 3 years ago, did radiation & was in remission. He recently got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer & had his first chemo a few weeks ago, he‘s determined to fight. He finally took the plunge & shaved his head this past weekend. He always had the most beautiful hair. It‘s jarring but he‘s rocking the buzz cut.

wavy brown locks shorn
away; kick cancer‘s ass — it‘s
gonna be okay.

Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm | Charlie Mackesy

A good elderly friend and distant relative died on Halloween. I‘m sending her daughter this book. I love Charlie Mackesy books so much. A dear friend on Litsy sent me his first book after a very close friend died during Covid. I‘ve passed on the kindness, giving a copy to a friend when her breast cancer recurred. And now I‘m sending this book. If you ever wonder what to do for someone who‘s grieving & lives at a distance, this book is marvelous

TheBookHippie I so agree about this book. 2d

TEArificbooks I saw an interview with the author. He said this book was inspired by one interaction at a book signing. The reader said he was still here because of the first book. 2d

Eggs I just finished

Return (Spirit Animals: Fall of the Beasts, Book 3): Volume 3 | Varian Johnson

so-so

I‘m still invested in this series and finding out what happens, but this wasn‘t the strongest in the series. It‘s getting to be just one traumatic episode after the next! Like, I joked with my mom (we‘ve been listening to these together when we drive to visit my sister) that I should‘ve mentioned reading these when my new therapist asked if I‘ve had any traumatic experiences 😆 But I thought the last few chapters were a solid set up the next book.

Good Morning, Captain: 50 Wonderful Years with Bob Keeshan, TV's Captain Kangaroo | Robert Keeshan, Cathryn Long

pick

What fun to revisit another childhood TV hero: Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo! This pictorial celebrates 50 years of this groundbreaking show (1955-84) The Captain taught us kids about kindness, diversity & respect. He hosted “Reading Stories” so we could fall in love with books. He & sidekick Mr. Green Jeans even taught us to appreciate nature, animals and our environment. That‘s before being replaced by cartoons/marketing tools to sell toys.🙄

MemoirsForMe In later life, Bob became an ardent advocate for anything that affects the well-being of children. We sure could use you nowadays, Captain!
