My Book About Cancer: A Workbook to Help Children Deal with the Diagnosis and Treatment of a Mother/Father With Cancer

Buy Book: Mother; Father

Introduction

I developed this workbook for children who have a family member living with cancer. I wanted these children to be able to create their own book about cancer rather than simply reading a book about someone else's experiences.

By creating and discussing their own book of experiences, children, with the help of parents, grandparents, and/or therapists, can identify and discuss their feelings, apprehensions, fears, and concerns as the family progresses through the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

My hope, as an elementary school counselor, is that this book gives children an effective, growth-producing avenue to express their thoughts and feelings as their family goes through this difficult time.
