Children's books about difficult topics.

[JMarie1]

I wondered if anyone could spare a few minutes to answer some questions as part of my Major Project for my MA in Publishing Media course.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to aid my research project in understanding the appropriate strategies and techniques when communicating with children who are facing challenging and difficult circumstances. This research will consequently aid the design and communication decisions of the book that I am creating, which will specifically target young children (5-7) coping with their parent/guardian facing breast cancer. In short - I am creating a children's book about breast cancer.

I understand that this is a difficult subject matter and would only advise individuals who are comfortable answering questions about this. It would be useful to gain any response of people who have young children or have dealt with this kind of experience - don't feel like you have to be an expert (but if you know any please let me know!), it's just useful to understand other peoples perspectives in my research part of my project. Thank you!

I would complete your questionnaire but it wants my email address before I proceed and I'm not happy to give that out. Perhaps plenty of others are, in which case disregard my feedback but I think you'd get a lot more responses, especially from posters on here if you used Surveymonkey etc where it's anonymous.

Done. Good luck. Try Facebook too it primary school teachers. We frequently get such requests, ask via email to the school office.
