Literati is honored to welcome authors from the book, Chronicling Childhood Cancer: A Collection of Personal Stories by Children and Teens with Cancer, in conjunction with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 100% of all book sales from this event will be donated to charity.

In the book Chronicling Childhood Cancer: A Collection of Personal Stories by Children and Teens with Cancer, ten children and teens use their own words and colorful drawings to share their personal experiences with cancer. This diverse collection of patient stories provides insight into the unique lives of these individuals; some are recently diagnosed and undergoing treatment for cancer while others are in remission or have relapsed. These children and teens are honest and perceptive, their stories told with heartfelt emotion.

This event, a celebration of September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, will be a reading and/or book signing involving the child and teen authors of these stories. It will be an opportunity to meet the people behind these stories as well as to learn more about how this research project came about as an interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Michigan. All of the proceeds for this book will be donated: 50% to the Block Out Cancer campaign for pediatric cancer research at the University of Michigan and 50% to the Child and Family Life Program at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
