On one level, it is a children's story that allays anxiety and explains how kids can help their parents through treatment and recovery. On another level, it is a parable for all that uses the metaphor of a circus to illustrate how friends, family, and caregivers—through their actions, deeds, and support—can add threads to the patient's and family's safety nets as they participate in the high-wire act that is cancer.

THE SURVIVORSHIP NET offers a fine parable for the family and caregivers of people with cancer. It's presented in picturebook format with illustrations by Bill Cass - but don't assume it's for a younger audience alone! Its parable about the life of a circus explains to all ages how cancer can be used as a rallying force for families, and is a pick for any general lending library.
This is a wonderful, simple way to communicate the importance that friends and family play in the life of someone battling cancer, or any life-threatening illness for that matter.
