A Six-Year-Old’s Book for Her Sick Dad | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A six-year-old girl named Isabella turned her dad’s terminal cancer diagnosis into a heartwarming children’s book called “Daddy’s Little Monsters,” using playful “little monsters” to explain illness to her siblings. Written with her mom over six months, the book has already sold nearly 300 copies and earned praise for helping kids understand what’s happening when a parent is sick. Chris, her dad, sees it as a legacy of love and resilience, while the family now seeks funding to print more copies and donate them to other families navigating similar struggles. Isabella’s courage even earned her a Girlguiding Award, and the book has become a comforting anchor for the whole family.
