Synopsis

Emmett B. Kelly’s little sister is diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a form of cancer, when she’s just three-and-a-half years old. At the time of his sister’s diagnosis, Emmett, like most children, knows very little about cancer and the treatments doctors use to fight it. As his sister undergoes various forms of therapy, he learns a lot about what the disease is, how doctors fight to cure it, and how the process impacts everyone in the family.

My Sister Got Cancer is filled with information and exercises designed to help siblings of patients. This practical, easy-to-read workbook contains definitions of common terms associated with cancer treatment, questions about subjects important to children, and exercises designed to help children process events and emotions.

Parents and extended family members will also find My Sister Got Cancer to be an invaluable resource to help them cope with the very difficult journey of diagnosis and treatment. Written from the perspective of a fourth-grader, this book will help adults better understand their children’s viewpoints and feelings.
