SpotRunner raises money

Mommy needs plastic surgery explained to 5 year olds.

Gawker's take on it:

The author, who has four children of his own, explained that he sees kids of his patients come in with puzzled looks and ask if their mommy is dying. The book is meant to reassure children that the only party of mother that's dying is her soul.
