I Wonder What It’s Like When a Parent Has Cancer: Max’s Story

by Jacquelyn Rebecek, MS, CCLS book design by Kristin Shoffner, project management by Emily McDaniel, MA, CCLS, RWWP

In 2022, I worked with a team of child life specialists at Wonders & Worries to illustrate their first picture book about Max, a young child who’s dad is diagnosed with cancer. The end product will hopefully help child life specialists and guardians who work with children who are experiencing a situation similar to Max’s.

This was a very rewarding project and had unique challenges, such as drawing an accurate radiation machine, or teaching tools used by specialists teaching children about cancer ports.
