Mallory's 65 Roses

by Diane Shader Smith, Jay Jackson (Illustrator)

Mallory’s 65 Roses is the engaging story of Mallory, a creative and energetic little girl afflicted with cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited lung disease. She explains her condition and its ramifications in her own words, painting a picture accessible to children and poignant to adults. “My mom says that doctors are working hard to find a cure for CF, a way to make kids with CF all better. She says that they are close to finding a cure right now. When they do, CF will stand for ‘cure found.’ I can’t wait for that day.”
