What do you say to a child suffering from cancer? How do you explain the reality of this disease? How do you build up the inner strength to discuss such a sensitive topic with children? When my friend got sick offers help and support to those who face such a challenge. The book features a simple text accompanied by expressive illustrations to describe the experience of a little girl with cancer. This book breaks the “taboo” associated with talking about cancer and is an aide to parents and educators to be able to deal with this topic with positively and hopefulness, particularly as the recovery rate among children suffering from cancer have become high with scientific progress.
