Product Overview:
Written by Canadian elementary school teacher and librarian Sunita Pal, "Cancer Is A C Word" is a beautifully illustrated, gentle educational picture book designed for young children (Kindergarten to Grade 2).
The story follows a young boy who notices that a mysterious word starting with the letter "C" makes the adults around him sad. By asking questions to his family and teachers, he learns about the illness in a non-frightening way. The book beautifully reframes the heavy conversation by focusing on uplifting "C" words that help people heal and cope, such as Caring, Community, Cuddling, and Companionship.
Perfect for parents, caregivers, librarians, and educators looking for a sensitive, age-appropriate resource to introduce a difficult topic to young minds without inducing fear.
