Also known as

Angels and monsters

Description

"As comedian and cancer-camp volunteer Jeff Foxworthy notes in this foreword, "Spend some time in the presence of children with cancer and you're never quite the same again." We know they are so much more. In an awe-inspiring photographic essay, art therapist Lisa Murray and photographer Billy Howard portray 25 childhood cancer patients as they express through art and words their feelings about the cancers that threatened them. The authors recently revisited the survivors, some of whom are now young adults embarking on careers and starting families. Angels & Monsters honors the lives of the children it portrays and the lives of other children like them everywhere."--Publisher description.
