​

A comprehensive guide for families and health care providers with educational information relating to medical treatments and relaxation strategies.

The first section of the book provides background information on research describing the healing power of relaxation, music, imagery, and humor.

The second section includes 27 stories designed specifically to help children develop coping strategies to reduce the pain and anxiety of medical procedures and treatments.

The guide is beautifully illustrated. It is a valuable adjunct to traditional medical interventions.

Nancy Klein, M.A., combines twenty years of teaching with the lessons learned from her own experiences with cancer in developing resources for children facing serious illnesses.

Nancy offers a way for parents and other support people to actively participate in a child’s recovery. As a speaker and educator, Ms. Klein’s teaching covers the full spectrum from elementary school to university classes.
