| Publisher Description: The association Angelique's stories, with the support of many parents, publishes books that make children aware of differences in everyday life, be it illnesses and disabilities, but also other family patterns and cultures. Through her books, Ang lique also raises children's awareness of Nature and ecology through stories that are always touching and beautifully illustrated by her. Among her books, here is one on the theme of childhood cancer. Are you worried about your child who has to go into the hospital to be treated for cancer?Are you looking for advice and detailed explanations of the journey your child will have to follow throughout his or her recovery in order to talk to him or her as best as possible? Are you also looking for the right words to talk to your child about his or her illness, while taking the drama out of the situation?My book on the subject of cancer is designed to calm children who are affected by it, by providing them with colourful and detailed illustrations and diagrams of everything they will experience in hospital. Humour spikes distilled through its pages relax children who identify with the little heroine of our book: Shooting Star, a little Native American girl who, with the support of her parents and her little twin brothers, will overcome the disease while keeping a smile on her face.Your child will also be able to take his book with him to the hospital, because I invite him at the end of the story to write down everything he has retained through simple questions, and to draw his cancer and its treatment on pages provided for that purpose.Ideal to give him a reassuring support if he has questions once he is in the hospital. He will be able to go back and reread his answers if you cannot be at his side.The children thus discover in pictures what is: -cancer- an X-ray - an MRI- the course of a surgical operation (and its preparation beforehand) - the placement of the implantable chamber- the chemotherapy protocol -The effects of chemotherapy on the body-the passage into a sterile room My book includes:About thirty colorful illustrations, some of which illustrate the various medical examinations and protocols.
