Children facing cancer - whether their own, a family member's, a friend's, or even a pet's - will find help in understanding the disease through this audiobook.

Un muchacho joven descubre una protuberancia en su perro, quien luego es diagnosticado con esas palabras temidas: "Es cáncer".

Every morning, I'm up at four o'clock. I brush my teeth, get dressed, and drag my sister Melanie to the car where Mami's waiting for us. ¡Se nos va hacer tarde! ¡Apurarse!

This is our normal. ¡Vamos!
