Someone I Love Has Cancer

This story, told from a child’s inquisitive perspective after finding out someone they love has cancer, offers children a better understanding and helps them process their emotions surrounding a cancer diagnosis of a loved one. There are prompts throughout the story to encourage discussion and ways your children can cope and find hope in the face of fear.
