The Bravest Girl in Kindergarten
Shira Peled beat leukemia when she was three years old. Now eleven, she has written a book describing her experience.
According to Peled, The Bravest Girl in Kindergarten is supposed to be a teaching tool. It can help suffering children relate and cope with illness or other difficulties, and it can apprise healthy children as to the help and compassion they must provide for their friends. Praised by director of the Education Ministry’s Tel Aviv district Haya Shitai, the book won a prize in the “Especially Exciting” category during Hebrew Book Week’s primary school reading campaign.
Says Peled, "Today, I'm almost 12, a happy girl. I didn't let the disease affect me. So what if I was sick? It doesn't mean I'm defective. I'm different from you. I'm special."
