This book is the essential resource for parents, the family, the child, the teacher and the school community to help normalise the treatment of cancer.

It talks directly to the child using open and charming illustrations which take away the fear and secrecy of cancer treatment.

Lucy learnt many things on her journey, which she shares in the book, including:

• It takes a community to fight cancer.
• The cancer journey is predictable to a degree, even when it feels out of control and very frightening.
• There are some things that you can do with your children along the way that will help them. The journey is a process and it will end at some point.
• That loving and being loved are critical to being a family – no matter what else is happening.

This is the first book of its kind in Australia.
