Amelia Takes on Cancer

Amelia Takes on Cancer is Amelia's debut book, made possible by Make A Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Inspired by the stories of pediatric cancer patients, she used her wish to write a book on her cancer journey. When Amelia was diagnosed with cancer, she had no idea what the next few years of her life would look like. Her doctors told her that she would receive chemotherapy and radiation, but she did not know what that meant. Six years later, Amelia has chosen to write this book to help patients understand what their lives may look like and reflect on their journeys. She wants every pediatric cancer patient to know that it's alright to ask for help and that they are not alone in their journey.

Amelia Takes on Cancer: An Interactive Journal for Your Own Cancer Journey is an empowering and emotional support resource for young children and preteens diagnosed with cancer. The activity book aims to give patients a sense of what they may experience by telling the story of Amelia Zai, a former Ewing’s sarcoma patient at the Jimmy Fund Clinic in Boston, Massachusetts. Ultimately, this book hopes to inspire patients to tell their stories and serves as a reminder that they’re not alone on their journey. The journal allows patients to color pages, write about their experiences, and connect with Amelia as she outlines her life-changing cancer journey.
