How do you explain cancer to a child? It’s a topic no one likes to broach, but left unaddressed children can become confused, sad, scared, anxious and frustrated – heart-breaking! M.C. Plays Hide & Seek is a short child-friendly book providing a simple yet realistic portrayal about:
The wording is simple, the illustrations are playful and the photos are multicultural, making cancer understandable to all children, even those not directly affected by a cancer diagnosis in the family. It is an easy book for children to read themselves at home, school or in a doctors office. The overall message is one of empowerment for knowledge, compassion and hope.
Including children in the ‘cancer talk,’ can go a long way to minimize fear, open lines of communication, develop coping skills and foster emotional health. If you are a mom, dad, grandma or grandpa with cancer, don’t ‘hide’ a cancer diagnosis from your children. ‘Seek’ out ‘M.C. Plays Hide & Seek!’
