Hi friend,

Every day, a child walks into a classroom carrying news no one expected—their friend has cancer. For classmates, that moment is filled with confusion, fear, and silence. For teachers and parents, finding the right words can feel impossible.

That’s why our children's book My Brave Friend exists—to open hearts, spark conversations, and help children understand what’s happening in a way that feels safe, honest, and full of hope.

FROM THE COMMUNITY

Here’s what Michelle Fritsch, LCSW, Pediatric Oncology Social Worker at Texas Children’s Cancer & Hematology Centers, shared about the book:

“This book is an invaluable resource for parents, caregivers, and teachers seeking to help children understand cancer in a compassionate and age-appropriate way. I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to explain cancer to a younger child with empathy and clarity.”

With your support, we can make sure every classroom has access to this kind of resource—so no child feels lost, and no teacher feels unprepared to guide them.

Your generosity helps create classrooms filled with understanding, not fear.
It builds empathy, courage, and connection—exactly when children need it most.

💛 Help us bring comfort and courage to more classrooms.

Thank you for believing in this mission and believing in Livestrong.

With care,

Team Livestrong
