Description

A true story about a spunky puddle jumper and her dog who give readers an honest, hopeful, and even funny look at what it's really like to kick cancer. Whether readers have a loved-one with cancer or have cancer themselves, this book will encourage and guide them. Dr. Thomas Smith, a pediatric oncologist, says, "What a wonderful, thought-provoking and uplifting book!" The real-life Puddle Jumper, Gracie, and her dog, Roo, share what cancer is and what people of all ages can do to kick it out, such as chemo, radiation, or surgery. Gracie talks openly about the physical and emotional side effects of fighting cancer. Readers also get to see how Gracie and her family aren't battling cancer alone. "I have a huge team helping me kick cancer," she says. "Yes, cancer is tough ... but together we are tougher!" Elizabeth A. Billups, author and illustrator of "The Puddle Jumper's Guide to Kicking Cancer" and other books, is Gracie's mom. For more information, visit TeachKidsAboutCancer.com.
