Review

“Singh and Prabhat combine forces for an unflinchingly honest yet soothing book about a child and his mother’s illness…. includes an author’s note that stresses the importance of honesty in the face of difficult situations, from illness to divorce to death…. A hopeful, sadly necessary resource for children coping with a caregiver under medical treatment.” —Kirkus Reviews ― Kirkus Reviews

“This evocative and wise picture book, written by a psychology professor from India, is for children struggling to cope with the medical treatment of a parent… when Ani’s gravely ill-looking mother returns from the hospital, light envelopes them both, and her advice to him is both realistic and inspiring… gives tips on how to handle children’s fears and depression, starting with ‘honesty matters.’” ­—Booklist ― Booklist

“With brevity and richness, Tanu Shree Singh beautifully describes a young boy’s journey throughout his mom’s battle with cancer in Ani’s Light. Through thoughtful words and eye-catching illustrations, readers can feel Ani’s pain and the darkness that fills his heart while Mama undergoes treatment for cancer. They can also celebrate joyfully with him as he welcomes her home. She conveys how her love will always be there to comfort him, even when she is not. That message is one of incredible value for a child of any age, and it’s one that is likely to touch many of those who read this unique and heartfelt picture book.” ― San Francisco Book Review

colorful book for kids who’s worried about mom’s health
This book is from the American Psychological Association.It is about a little boy, Ani’s feelings, while his mother is gone for medical treatment. Ani feels better when Mama finally comes home. It is heartwarming that Ani says he would shave his hair because Mama lost hers.The round face, big-eyed characters are all very cute and lovely. The unique text font is warm and helps soften the seriousness of the situation.I don’t know about other readers but I felt the art work might be sometimes too colorful and too beautiful to match Ani’s “dark” feelings. (This may be intentional so that it doesn’t feel too heavy for young readers’ heart.)There is a note to parents and caregivers at the end.- Honesty matters.- It is okay to not know the answers.- Help the child deal with their emotions.- Routines are important.- Plan for fun.- Seek help.Wishing the best for all those who are suffering from illness.

This book is from the American Psychological Association.

It is about a little boy, Ani’s feelings, while his mother is gone for medical treatment. Ani feels better when Mama finally comes home. It is heartwarming that Ani says he would shave his hair because Mama lost hers.

The round face, big-eyed characters are all very cute and lovely. The unique text font is warm and helps soften the seriousness of the situation.

I don’t know about other readers but I felt the art work might be sometimes too colorful and too beautiful to match Ani’s “dark” feelings. (This may be intentional so that it doesn’t feel too heavy for young readers’ heart.)

There is a note to parents and caregivers at the end.
- Honesty matters.
- It is okay to not know the answers.
- Help the child deal with their emotions.
- Routines are important.
- Plan for fun.
- Seek help.

Wishing the best for all those who are suffering from illness.
