Description
This book is a lighthearted introduction to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), which is an inherited genetic predisposition to a wide range of cancers. In this story, a boring day at the hospital turns into a lively adventure when Rosie and James sneak away to go exploring. They share their experiences with cancer and LFS as they eat cookies, camp out in the MRI machine and dig through treasure chests. Reading this book with young children creates a safe space for questions and conversation.
All profits from the sale of Robot Music will be donated towards LFS research and initiatives that support the LFS community.
