Memphis Teachers Her Mom New Tricks

This illustrated book shares the story of a family who must traverse the difficult diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Following the journey of a young dog named Memphis and her mom, the story offers sensitive insight into the autonomy of a loved one suffering from the disease and the profound lessons learned about resilience, survival instincts, and releasing the self-imposed expectation on a parent to have all the answers. The story is delivered with a unique twist, and was written to help families appreciate life’s challenges and navigate them through love, compassion, and understanding.
