520			_aWhen Sara Olsher was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 34, her first thought was how to tell her six-year-old daughter without scaring her. Cancer Party! is the result of that conversation and experience. It is the book Sara wished she could have snuggled up on the couch and read with her child. Cancer Party! is a little bit science, a little bit silly, and a lot straightforward. Keeping it simple, Cancer Party! uses bright illustrations to show how cells divide, work, and what happens when a cell gets confused and turns into cancer. Aimed at families with children ages 4 to 10, Cancer Party! helps families address the physical impact cancer treatment has on a patient and their child, helps kids understand what to expect, and assures them that cancer isn't their fault. Cancer Party! is for families that want to explain what cancer actually is, using simple concepts. Cancer is portrayed through amusing illustrations as body cells that throw a party, which is problematic because these party-loving cancer cells start to crowd out the more diligent cells that are working to keep the body functioning properly. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are lightly touched on, as are treatment side effects. Illustrated text.
