Author / Humorist and 13 year breast cancer survivor Christine Clifford Beckwith wrote Our Family Has Cancer, Too! with the help and insight of one of her sons.
This book focuses on children's issues around cancer. It features a wonderful "Questions to Ask" section that invites children to write down their questions for parents, doctors, teachers, and anyone else they wish to speak to.
The book also contains a glossary of the most common words kids might hear when someone in their family has cancer.
Christine's book also offers the opportunity for families to address and answer the questions most kids have, including:
- What is cancer?
- What changes will happen to our family?
- What are the treatments like?
- How long will it take to get through the cancer experience?
- What do I tell my friends?
As is the focus of all of Christine's books, it teaches families and all of those touched by a loved one's cancer how to laugh together.
