Abstract

A picture book written to help children cope with a mother's breast cancer. Includes "testimonials" by animal characters in an imaginary support group, allowing each of them to talk about issues they are facing. The "narrators" describe how the family reacted to the diagnosis, meeting the doctors and nurses, trying to look for good things among the bad, and dealing with scary emotions, and they offer hints for helping Mom feel better.

Abstract

A storybook and task-oriented activity book specifically designed for children with cancer (ages 7-11). Children who are diagnosed with cancer must face a series of overwhelming hurdles; physical, psychological and social. Everyone with the child can play an essential role in minimizing the trauma associated with the disease. The patient, family, and medical team enter into a complex interdependent relationship. The child's ability to cope with and adjust to their illness is strengthened by an environment which is open and supportive.
