Overview

A parent's cancer diagnosis can be extremely stressful for children, whether they're toddlers or teenagers. In this helpful, calming guide, two internationally recognized subject-matter experts tell parents how to talk to their children and help allay their fears each step of the way. Hands-on tools help those affected by cancer, as well as their loved ones, face many of the dilemmas that come with the disease. A special illustrated 28-page activity book designed just for kids helps even the youngest children record their thoughts and feelings so they can learn how to navigate through this emotional time. Even when a parent is sick, families can learn how to strengthen ties, provide comfort, and show loving concern for each other.
