About the Book
Talking to your kids about subjects like cancer and death is hard. Really hard.
This book will help you start the conversation.
When Sally was 5-years-old, her older sister was diagnosed with cancer. This story is not a fun-loving, little story that you’ll want to read to your kiddos. Rather, it’s a story you’ll need to read to your kids when circumstances of this world make it so. It’s a story that talks about cancer, death, and how to deal with the aftermath. It’s told in Dr. Seuss-fashion with rhyme and colorful art.
