What happens when a child loses a family member for the first time? As a parent, how can you explain to your child what is about to happen when a family member has a terminal diagnosis of cancer? The beautifully-illustrated picture book, The Adventures of Peighten and Gingerbread: Navigating Cancer Diagnosis and Developing Coping Strategies for Grief, for ages 3-9, takes its young readers on a psychoeducational journey on the topic of grief due to loss and positive coping strategies that can be implemented to assist children through the five stages of grief.

This story is based on the relationship between the author and licensed therapist’s oldest daughter, Peighten, and her late grandmother Robin, who passed away after her long battle with breast cancer. In the book, Peighten and her sidekick puppy Gingerbread educate readers about cancer, death, and grief. Peighten and Gingerbread inform readers coping strategies to assist children in their feelings of grief within the story and through the included therapeutic activity pages.
