A little girl wants to stop sucking her thumb. Her mother wants to stop smoking cigarettes. So they make a deal. They'll quit, together. They try the Holding Hands Cure, and the Talking Cure, and the Candy Cure, and even the Food Cure. Soon, they discover that quitting is not that easy, but that having each other is comforting, so that maybe they can quit, a little bit at a time. Trina Schart Hyman's expressive black-and-white illustrations are the perfect foil to this realistic and forgiving story about the struggle to quit a bad habit. Part of our "Recalled to Life" program, ipicturebooks is proud to bring back into "print" this picture book classic.
