Booklist - Loved Ones With Cancer

The Loved Ones With series (6 titles) tackles difficult topics with a straightforward approach. This book provides brief, factual information about what cancer is, what might happen to a person with cancer, and what treatment might be like. In the same way that they discuss cancer cells and issues like hair loss, the authors address feelings children may experience when a loved one has cancer and how to deal with those feelings. The book is explicitly for children with family members or friends who have cancer, not those who have cancer themselves. Adults should be aware that the book does mention death as one possible outcome of cancer, though it does not dwell on it. This is not a fun book, but it’s a helpful resource for those who need it.
