Peter R. Van Dernoot talks about his new book

Talking with My Treehouse Friends about Cancer: An Activity Book for Children of Parents with Cancer. www.fulcrumbooks.com

According to the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 315,247 parents ages 25 to 54 will be diagnosed with invasive cancer each year. They then have the heart-wrenching task of breaking the news to more than 592,000 children under the age of 18. This book will be helpful to any family dealing with a parent's or grandparent's cancer. Sharing time with your youngster while working on the activity book or reviewing the work afterward will make these moments all the more meaningful for both of you. This activity book becomes the personal diary your children or grandchildren create to learn how to cope with your cancer. When completed, it will serve as a helpful historical reference for "remember when." And if there are some pages that are particularly memorable, you'll note that the pages are perforated so they can easily be removed and framed.
