A cancer survivor developed a “Fun Letter”, an eight page activities letter for children with cancer, including games to play, pictures to color and ideas to share. There are six issues that come out a year. Parts of a sample issue can be downloaded from this site.

Chemo to the Rescue: A Children’s Book on Leukemia

An online book for young children with leukemia. A mother and child wrote the book together during the long hours at the hospital. It helps explain the disease and also lends encouragement to others going through the same thing.

American Brain Tumor Kids Page

There are three sections: learning, sharing, and activities. The learning page has a series of questions and answers for kids. The sharing page has kids stories and tips for coping. The activity page has crossword puzzles, word searches, and world scrambles that are related to brain tumors. One can also download a pdf document of Alex’s Journey, about a boy who is diagnosed with a brain tumor. The entire video can be obtained free of charge through ABTA.
