Krebs erklärt für Klein und Gross

When a parent or another important person in the immediate environment is diagnosed with cancer, many questions arise, accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, fear, sadness, or anger. Psycho-oncologists Bianca Senf and Kirsten Grabowski share the knowledge gained from their decades of counseling practice in this book. They provide a child-friendly insight into the body and what happens within it during a cancer diagnosis. Through numerous creative illustrations, they explain:

• What exactly is cancer?
• What treatment options are available today and how do they work?
• Why can one die from cancer?
• What can I do to better cope with overwhelming feelings?

The book is structured so that all readers can find age-appropriate information: Young children can have the content conveyed through discussions based solely on the illustrations. From preschool age, the explanatory texts are suitable for reading aloud, and school-aged children can read them independently with an adult's supervision. The explanatory section is complemented by a magic trick box containing six tricks that children can use when their fears become overwhelming. The second part of the book includes additional information specifically for adults.

An informative and illustrative children's book for both young and old that leaves no question unanswered regarding the topic of cancer. Suitable for children aged 3 and up.
