About When Mitzy the Foggle Got Cancer:
Many children’s lives will be touched by the cancer diagnosis of a loved one.
If you are a parent, grandparent, caregiver or health professional, explaining cancer to a young child can feel daunting. When Mitzy the Foggle got Cancer aims to provide a story that can serve as a starting point for your conversation.
When Mitzy the Foggle Got Cancer features a small family of Foggles navigating their way through cancer. The book and animation highlight that it is important to talk openly with children and to encourage them to ask questions and share their feelings.
