My friend's baby Rachel is sick. She is going through aggressive chemo therapy for bilateral retinoblastoma (eye cancer). You can check on her story at her CaringBridge site, but the quick and dirty is that she has tumors in both of her eyes, but they are responding to treatment and she been able to avoid the removal of her eyes so far! (That is the normal treatment for this type of cancer if it is only in one eye or not responding to treatment.)
Her friends have been trying to raise money for the family in any way possible, and here's another really really fun one! My best friend Miranda just wrote a book! It's called "Rapid Duck" and is a super sweet story about a little adventurous duck and the animals he meets. Miranda wrote and illustrated the book and all of the profits will go to help with Rachel's medical bills.

This would make a nice gift for any little person in your life, while also helping a young family in need. Hey, if you live locally I can even get it signed for you!
Now go hug your littles and be thankful they are healthy. I'm snuggling Kaya right now!
