Announcing - Love Sick
Teens Reflect on Growing up with a Parent who has Cancer
|
Our struggle has been that there are not many good books available for teens that we believe teens will read. Several years ago, we decided to ask the teens in our programs to write down their experiences so we could put a book together and share this with all teens who may feel like they are alone in their experience.

Moxie
A story about friends helping each other when a parent of family member has cancer.
|
This book was written to help children understand their parent’s cancer and for parent’s to understand how their child is feeling about the cancer. Moxie, a blue raccoon, lives up to her name- in this story about facing difficulty with spirit and courage. She also sees this in her friends, Kelly and Jon, who are learning how to do the same through the bond of having a parent with cancer.
