Book Reviews of What Is Cancer Anyway?: Explaining Cancer to Children of All Ages
Book Review: A Valuable Tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a volunteer chair of the Children's Activities Area for 10 years, I continually search for resource materials that are written for children under 12 years of age. Resources materials informing and reassuring children that the word `cancer' doesn't have to be scary; but, rather a word that is challenging. Sometimes children are "forgotten" while adults deal with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. How does a child know what questions to ask? That it is really, really okay to ask questions! Barklay and Eve answers many questions children may have while reassuring children in a simple, straight forward manner: through the medium of a coloring book. It answers common questions about cancer treatments and encourages children to ask questions. Parents or friends can read and discuss cancer with their children as they relax and color the pictures. We have distributed 100's of Barklay and Eve to parents, family members, children every year at our Race for the Cure.
Summary of What Is Cancer Anyway?: Explaining Cancer to Children of All Ages
What IS Cancer, Anyway? Explaining Cancer to Children of All Ages is one of the books in the Barklay and Eve Children's Book Series. This book provides basic information that is essential when someone in the family has cancer and does so in a calm, clear, reassuring manner that children and adults will appreciate. Barklay and Eve, the two lovable main characters, define cancer, explain radiation and chemotherapy (including the reasons why some people loose their hair). This is a hopeful story which has a fun connect-the -dots page of the American Cancer Sociey's symbol of hope. THIS BOOK IS ENDORSED BY HURRICANE VOICES, A BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION.Illness Books
