Children are prompted to draw pictures on each page in response to the prompts. For example, the first page encourages children to think about change as a natural part of life, and encourages them to draw the changes between winter and spring. This progresses to considering the changes between the reader as a baby and how they look now, and from there to thinking about the changes caused by a family member's serious illness. From that point, understanding illness and acknowledging feelings are explored. This book includes advice for adult family members, instructions for using the book, and a note for children. This book will appeal particularly to children who enjoy active participation in their reading. Activity book. Audience: Child 9 - 12 years or younger with an accompanying adult, Adult caregiver ER -
