A Uniquely South African story

This uniquely South African story, written by Véronique Garbutt and Sue Boucher and beautifully illustrated by Michelle McClunan, aims to remove any stigma, address the myths attached to a cancer diagnosis, and to reassure children who may need to spend long periods of time away from home receiving treatment. The book ends with four pages of easy-to-understand information on cancer, including warning signs, addressing common myths, information on cancer treatments and the benefits of palliative care when a child has cancer.
