Join Beamer and Kyle in Tell Me Town as they learn about cancer from Dr. Raj who explains it in terms that are easy for almost anyone to understand. With this knowledge, Beamer and Kyle are better able to encourage and support their friend Tayo through his journey. Gabriella Miller's special writing at the beginning of the book will encourage and enlighten.
" Thank you, Beamer and your friends, for creating a straightforward, upbeat story to help children better understand cancer and its treatment. This book is a great resource to children and their families as they encounter a tough diagnosis. The beautiful introduction by a young girl fighting cancer is an inspiration and will be a comfort to children faced with their own illness."

" What a wonderful book! Cancer and its treatment are overwhelming, scary, and unfamiliar for both children and their families. Beamer and Kyle explain cancer in this frank yet understandable story that will be a great resource for everyone touched by this childhood struggle. Special thanks to Gabriella for her touching and cheerful introduction!"

" Once again, Cindy Chambers nailed it. As a former cancer patient I can say, her writing comes from a passion and wisdom she acquired from learning so much about this important topic and I am honored to commend her work to you. Gabriella's words are beautiful."

" Beamer Learns about Cancer is a book that I wish our family had as we entered into the world of childhood cancer. It is difficult enough for us as adults to understand cancer, but, for a child, it is near impossible. Thank you, Cindy, for writing this book that explains cancer in simple terms that empower us with knowledge and understanding."

" Curiosity leads to discovery, and discovery is filled with knowledge and understanding. As a care giver I wish I had Beamer there to help me explain cancer to our family in a safe and comfortable manner. Thank you for helping all of us become better friends and care givers to our loved ones."
