English Summary/英文概要： The Story
Most of us can’t imagine having the time we spend with our children or loved ones cut short, but this is the reality being faced by mother of two Lisa Wells, who was diagnosed with terminal bowel and liver cancer in December 2017 at the age of 32. The Only One of Me project grew from Lisa’s determination to leave a lasting legacy for her daughters and her desire to help other families rally against the difficulties of loss. Her activities have raised thousands for charity and huge public support through JustGiving has enabled the publication of these beautiful books.
The Book
Only One of Me is the product of Lisa’s lifelong love of writing and a newfound friendship with award-winning children’s author Michelle Robinson. The two collaborated on this tender and moving rhyming poem, with charming illustrations by Tim Budgen, which is both a love letter to Lisa’s own daughters and a testament to the unwavering strength of parental love, a timeless message for families facing the challenges of bereavement.
Charities
All author and illustrator royalties will be donated to the charities Mummy’s Star, which supports women and their families affected by cancer during pregnancy, and We Hear You (WHY), which provides free professional counselling to anyone affected or bereaved by cancer or other life threatening conditions.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我們都無法想像我們能跟孩子相處的時間被硬生生地縮短了、截斷了，但這就是本書作者Lisa Wells所面對的殘酷現實。身為兩個孩子母親的她，在2017年12月的時候被診斷出罹患了大腸癌和肝癌晚期，當時她才32歲。
如何告訴她的兩個女兒，她是多麼地愛她們？想給她們的有這麼多，但是所剩的時間卻遠遠不夠？
於是這兩本書的計畫展開了，她與她的童書作家好友Michelle Robinson合力撰寫了這兩本書，溫柔的詩般的文字，搭配插畫家Tim Budgen溫暖的圖畫，告訴孩子：「我只有一個我，但是我希望給你的，遠遠不只這些...」
這是一個母親給孩子的情書，也是留給孩子的一份愛的遺產。而相信正如本書表達的，雖然我只有一個我，而時間是這麼有限，但是我請爸爸幫忙，我也請阿姨們、叔叔們、爺爺奶奶、朋友們幫忙，有著許多人的幫忙，有著許多人的愛，有一天孩子將可以跨越悲傷。
