Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings
Nanci Hersh, a breast cancer survivor and artist, is donating $2 for every copy of the book “Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings” (which she illustrated) that is sold through BCRC. Butterfly Kisses is a listen-to or read-along book for children who are facing the cancer of a loved one. Told through the eyes of a child, it lends itself to a simple and clear understanding of cancer, and teaches children to realize the power they have to be an active and integral part of a loved one’s journey.
