My Brave Friend: Emma and Noah Face Cancer Together
When a classmate is diagnosed with cancer, children and their teachers need tools to help. In partnership with Livestrong, we’ve written a children’s book: My Brave Friend: Emma and Noah Face Cancer Together, available now! The children's book My Brave Friend: Emma and Noah Face Cancer Together was co‑authored by Suzanne Stone, CEO of Livestrong, and our very own Brett Fox, Hopecam’s Director of Operations and Philanthropy!
Meet Emma and Noah
Emma and Noah are best friends who do everything together, like playing on the monkey bars at recess and making each other smile and laugh. But one day at school, Noah notices that Emma is not there. He learns that Emma has cancer.
With the support of his parents, teacher, and classmates, Noah learns not to be afraid and helps make Emma feel less lonely while she receives treatment. Follow the story of how one boy brings joy and connection to his best friend when she needs it the most.
Based on the Livestrong at School curriculum, this heartfelt book aims to change the way students in kindergarten through second grade learn about cancer.
