From the Publisher

Information about the book:Cancer is often called a "family disease" because it affects more than the person who is diagnosed. For families with young or adolescent children, this is especially true. This book outlines valuable steps necessary to help children understand what happens when a parent has been diagnosed with cancer.This book also includes a special illustrated workbook designed just for children and adolescents to help them 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.
