review 1: This is the AMAZING true story of a brave little girl named Elena given the horrible diagnosis of DIPG, a terminal brain cancer. This diary-style book, written by Elena's loving parents, documents Elena's courageous battle with cancer. Even as Elena's body began to shut down, her spirit shown brighter than ever. This book was a roller-coaster of emotions. I would be laughing one moment and then crying the next.
review 2: Inspired by notes that a six-year old daughter left behind for her parents to discover. I can understand why her parents wanted to write it but it was really difficult to digest as a reader. It's horrible that any family would have to watch their child live with or die from any disease like cancer, but this isn't the sort of book that I would ... morerecommend for others unless they're looking for solace, having lost young family members to a degenerative disease. I know some find the book inspiring, but it hit me differently; I found it to be overwhelmingly sad. less
