Chemo Cat by Cathy Nilon is a conversation starter to help kids deal with mother’s breast cancer diagnosis. Net proceeds will be donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a supportive educational resource for women in all stages of breast cancer.
The 56-page book, published by Ravenna Press, would make a sweet gift for a newly diagnosed mother of young children. Chemo Cat explains the changes that will happen to Mom as she goes through treatment. And it may serve as a nice tool to assist children with emotional needs during a tough time.
