As one girl watches her mom battle illness, she sees Mom being strong, brave, and fierce on both good days and bad ones. Mom is fierce as she catches and wrestles a fish and brave as she endures needles from the doctor. The girl wants to be brave like Mom! As she worries about her mom' s health, the girl realizes that bravery comes in many forms and that she can be brave too. A poignant and sensitive story about a loved one living with a chronic illness, and an important lesson about how being brave doesn' t mean you aren' t scared.
"It' s an important lesson, one supported by colorful and engaging illustrations that capture the good moments and the not-so-good ones. . . . Tenderly encouraging, with a message of hope and resilience. " --Kirkus Reviews
