once upon a time... it was cancer

due to my psychology studies i had the chance to visit health centers and hospitals and to work as a psychologist under supervision at a clinic. In some of these places i met cancer patients, adults and children. This is what stimulated me to come up with the ebook idea. I  found out that children patients are at some points stronger than adults. I also saw that adults find it extremely difficult to explain to their children what is happening. Questions, like "why my hair fall", " are you gonna die?"  need answers, but how can you answer that to a small child? Health issues, like cancer are extremely sensitive and in no way we try to dictate how one should think or act. The main goal is to show a simple  way to deal with difficult questions and not to avoid them, leaving something sweat at the end. We wish to take some of the sadness away through our colorful pages. I hope that we will succeed even for just a little.
