book about cancer for kids?

[loobeylou]

FIL just diagnosed, outlook pretty bleak, anyone know a good book for kids aged 7, 9, 4

Sorry to hear your news, it's grim.

The Secret C has been good for our 9yo dd.

I've also got 'As big as it gets', also available from Winstons Wish to help me deal with the questions and emotions which we have.

thank you twink, those look like a good place to start

we are well and truly in at the deep end here, with no previous experience of cancer in our families, DH is very distresed about his dad, and trying to explain to the kids is tough

sorry you have been through something similar and thanks for taking the time to reply

Sorry to hear your news

Have a look on here (Macmillan site) for the cancertalk info (s wellas loads of other advice)- a scheme designed to get kids atlking about cancer, there shuld be lots of ideas on there.

Wishing you all the best

thanks for that too peachy, that looks really helpful
