Two women who wrote a book to help a friend with cancer to talk to her son about her illness, now hope their book can help others in a similar situation.
There is no easy way to talk to a young child about illness, but children’s writer Hannah Moorcroft-Jones and graphic designer Emma Haynes hope their new book for children aged two to four, will make things a little easier.
Ms Moorcroft-Jones, from Buckinghamshire, and Ms Haynes came up with the idea of writing the book, ‘I wish Mummy could…’ to support their 38-year-old friend Gemma West, from Banbury, who was struggling to explain to her then three-year-old son William why she could not do things.
