Emerson the Brave: My Cancer Journey from A-Z - Paperback

by Emerson Hoogendoorn (Author), Julie Kovacs (Editor), Emerson Hoogendoorn (Illustrator)

Emerson Hoogendoorn was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of six. For a school project in fourth grade, she wrote an ABC book about her experiences at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Emerson thought it would be cool to turn her school project into a published book. Her teacher, Mrs. Kovacs, helped make her dream a reality.

When Emerson turned 11, her disease returned. In July 2024, Emerson lost her battle with cancer.

This book is her story.
