Children facing cancer-whether their own, a family member's, a friend's, or even a pet's-will find help in understanding the disease through this book. A young boy discovers his dog's lump, which is then diagnosed with those dreaded words: "It's cancer." The boy becomes a loving caretaker to his dog, who undergoes the same types of treatments and many of the same reactions as a human under similar circumstances (transference). Medical writer and award-winning children's author, Sherry North artfully weaves the serious subject into an empathetic story that even young children can understand. Sylvan Dell is a publisher of illustrated children's books, but we are also a serious education company committed to making a difference in literacy, language, and cross-curricular learning. We believe that you use fiction picturebooks as a tee-up to get children reading and peak their interest in a subject, then you burrow in and teach the non-fiction components that we make freely available. We offer teachers and parents a Science and Math Through Literature Program that is fun, cross-curricular, and high tech. It seamlessly integrates reading, science, math, geography, character skills, and language learning.
