Kids Cancer Activity Book Ages 7-12, My Treatment Adventure Book, Printable Hospital Activities, Feelings Wheel & Brave Tracker, Chemo Gift

My Treatment Adventure Book
An activity book for kids going through cancer treatment. Ages 7-12. 23 pages.

Cancer treatment can take over a kid's whole world: the calendar, the body, the energy and every conversation in the room. This book is for the rest of them too. It's a place for their favorite things, their questions, their worries, their wins and their jokes, plus games and puzzles for the long hospital days. It's written to your child, in honest, simple words, with a page for you at the back.

A gentle introduction on every page explains, in kid words, why the page helps, with a short "for grown-ups" line grounded in The Dougy Center's guidance for children facing serious illness, Dr. Heidi Horsley's work on siblings and respected research on feelings and coping. Each page ends with one calming breath.

HOW IT WORKS
• This is a digital download. Nothing will be shipped to you.
• After checkout, your files appear under You > Purchases and Reviews on Etsy and in your Etsy confirmation email.
• Print at home or at a local print shop, or type right into the fillable file on a computer, tablet or phone.
• The fillable file works best in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (on a computer, tablet or phone). Other PDF apps may not save typing and some rating circles may let you pick more than one answer. To write by hand on a tablet, open any version in an app like GoodNotes or Notability.

A GENTLE GIFT
When a child you love is diagnosed, it's hard to know what to send. This is something for them, not just about their cancer. Send it as a digital gift, or print it, punch it into a binder and add a pack of gel pens.

A NOTE FROM ME
Hi, I'm Niki. I'm a mom and a certified grief educator and I lead The Ugly Cry Club. My daughter Harper was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at fifteen and went through about three and a half years of treatment. She taught me that you can have cancer and still be completely you: funny, stubborn, bored in a hospital bed, brave and scared in the same hour. I made this book for kids like her.

Real tears. Real love.
Harper's Heart Press
