When eight year old Ruthie learns that her mother has breast cancer, she is initially upset by the news. After an unusual visitor gives her some creative ideas, she finds a way to be brave and strong for her mom. Ruthie and the Pink Fairie is a story of one young child's efforts to help her mother and family face a disease, which impacts so many of our lives. During her journey, she learns ways to become involved in the fight against breast cancer, and hopefully inspires her community and others to do the same.
