Explaining cancer to children can be difficult, but UWindsor science student Mckenzie Cervini has done it with all the flair of Dr. Seuss.
Cervini has written and illustrated a children’s book about the disease. It’s colourful — and it rhymes.
“I found there was a gap in communicating cancer in a simple way,” Cervini said of how she came up with the idea for the book she titled, The C-Word.”
“It covers the biology in layman’s terms.”
