Kylie Rose Kickin' Cancer was the result of a story made up to tell my granddaughter, Kylie Rose. She entered the hospital with a pediatric cancer known as a Wilms Tumor, which originates in a kidney. There were many doctors and their staff, nurses and aids, and Kylie didn't understand why there were so many examinations. At five years old, she didn't know the names of internal organs, but she knew parts of an arm, hence the story was born. The book then evolved to tell children the story of her treatment, so children with various cancers could have a look at what they may experience. The book will also benefit friends and family who are new to cancer treatment. J. Bree Young is the illustrator; however, actual photos of Kylie are included to help transition from a story to a real life experience.
