RESOURCES Partners
Mighty + Bright - mightyandbright.com
Mighty + Bright helps kids by relieving the uncertainty
that comes with cancer treatment. Using fun picture
books, kids learn the science of cancer in an honest,
totally non-scary way, and how treatment - their
own, or a parent's - will affect their day-to-day life.
The complementary magnetic calendar allows parents
to show their kids what's happening each day, from
treatment appointments to low-key bonding activities
that are easy enough to do from bed.
