Book Description

January 2003 1843101254 978-1843101253 1
When Owen started having headaches and tummy ache and sometimes everything looked blurry his Mom took him to have a scan. They pretended he was going on a space mission. Then the doctors said he had a brain tumor.

Written for 2- to 7-year-olds, this straightforward and accessible children's picture book tells the story of Owen's adventures as he goes back to hospital for a series of treatments to make him better.

It is an essential resource for parents and other adults seeking reassurance and explanation for children who have been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and their siblings, friends, and peers.
