Selene's Safari Soiree

Unfortunately cancer continues to ruin many lives around the world. Most people are able to cope with the tragedy, but children often have a difficult time understanding.

JacksBackPack hopes to ease children and parents into the difficult discussion with the book “Mommy Without Hair: My World Turned Upside Down.”

In Mommy Without Hair? My World Turned Upside Down, first-time author Selene Benitone introduces four-year-old Jack, who shares his story about his mother’s cancer, the changes cancer brings to his home, and how his family faces her treatment with faith. Jack tells his story in simple, straightforward language with a positive point of view. He reveals the sometimes humorous, sometimes emotional aspects of daily life in a family with a Mommy Without Hair.

The illustrated children’s book provides a teaching tool that makes cancer treatment understandable to younger children and connects families affected by cancer.

More event details soon to follow.
