| Summary, etc. |
A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming for the entire family. Young children may feel scared and confused. Opening up dialogue about what to expect and some of the challenges that must be faced will help alleviate some fears that children may experience. The story of a young girl with cancer is told from the point of view of her brother's experience. The illustrations are reminiscent of computer graphics, which may be particularly visually appealing for some readers. The text is in rhyming format which makes it ideal for reading aloud. Perhaps like many children, the little boy becomes aware that his sister is ill from overhearing adult conversations. The rest of the narrative helps to demystify some of the terminology and behaviours associated with cancer treatment (IVs, being conscious of hygiene to protect an immunocompromised person, the curious stares at a child suffering from hair loss). The book foregrounds the feelings and experiences of the brother, such as anger, sadness and jealousy. This book concludes with advice on expressing love for a sibling experiencing cancer, it does not follow the sister's journey to either recovery or death. Colour picturebook with short text. <br/>Audience: Child 4 - 8 years. |
