Charlotte is a funny 9-year-old who loves Taylor Swift. Her interests include horseback riding, collecting Breyer horses, and bugging her mom for a golden retriever.

When Charlotte’s sister Claire was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Charlotte did her best to be strong. She displayed a level of maturity far beyond her years. While Claire stayed in the hospital for more than 30 days, Charlotte was brave enough to start first grade at a brand-new school.
