What's so great about this image? It's a year and a half after we took these (below), again with her loving brother. During her chemotherapy, Jim shaved his head, too, and surprised her for her 31st birthday party in Sun Valley. That's love. Both were visiting Sun Valley again recently, so we had to do a follow up portrait! I gave Sunshine (no, that's her name, really!) all the high res files, and she's going to make a blurb book herself from her favorites. I love happy endings.

As New Zealand is socialized they've invested heavily in children's resources.Christchurch has the most amazing library system. We often have between 30-50 kids books in a revolving rotation. There's always a gem waiting to be discovered.
Such was the case last night. And quite coincidental that my first visit to your blog has this beautiful photo and the wonderful survivor's story.
The book is The Lemonade Club by Patricia Polacco.

In short, after contracting leukemia a young girl's 5th grade class shaves their heads in a show of solidarity and support.
Love knows few boundaries.
