Dad’s Naughty Cancer is a sweet and hopeful book that deals with a tough subject in a way that’s easy for children to understand. Through dialogue and description, Dr. Tonya tells the story of a family dealing with - but not broken by - cancer, offering hope to anyone fighting the same battle. This book is perfect for families dealing with a cancer diagnosis of their own, and for anyone finding it difficult to explain what is happening to someone who has cancer. Children who read this book will not only walk away better informed, but will also have a sense of optimism and an understanding that cancer does not have to win. Dr. Tonya is a board-certified radiation oncologist and cancer survivor who has treated many patients before and after her diagnosis.
