Nana's Brave Days. A Story About Courage, Change, and Love - Michael Robertson

Nana's Brave Days is a gentle, heartfelt story that helps children understand cancer with courage, clarity, and love. When Leo notices Nana becoming tired, quiet, and different, he learns that she's facing something big - and that love can stay strong even when life changes.

Through soft watercolour illustrations and simple, comforting language, this story guides children through:

Why Nana looks and feels different

How cancer treatment affects the body

How small moments - clouds, tea, stories - still matter

How children can support loved ones with kindness and bravery

Leo's handmade superhero cape becomes a symbol of hope on both the brave days and the tired days, reminding young readers that even in difficult times, connection shines brightest.

Perfect for families navigating illness, teachers supporting emotional wellbeing, and anyone wanting to help a child understand cancer in a safe, loving way.

Includes a Teacher & Parent Discussion Guide, Activities, and Reassurance Points to help grown‑ups talk openly and gently about illness.
