Kids bounce back quickly but you never know what they keep inside. I know a woman who lives locally to me who is an oral cancer survivor. Her name is Eva Grayzel. She wrote a book for children coping with a sick parent. If I remember correctly, I think she gave me her book. I will look for it and send it to you. If I cant find it, I will contact her to get one to you.
