We accompany Lia through the stations of her new life in 15 short chapters. A children's book that deals with a parent's struggle with cancer. Suitable for affected families, but also for parents and teachers who would like to discuss the topic of cancer with children. Each page of text is accompanied by a page-sized cartoon-style illustration, all of which are visually engaging and humorous. Lia fears that her refusal to eat her green peas has caused her mother's illness, so this story explodes this and other cancer myths about causes and transmission. The book shows children's anger and resentment at the impact of a parental cancer diagnosis on their lives, and how to find joy during the treatment journey. Colour picturebook with text. Audience: child 4 - 8 years.
