'By the age of 8 most children have known someone with cancer. Children are very matter of fact, but if they do not ask a question it does not mean that they do not have a question.'
is out to change. The story is inspired by her real-life god-daughter who was diagnosed at the age of two with a rare form of childhood cancer, and it tells of a magical wig that transforms Daisy’s outlook on her own battle. While Daisy’s cheery and singular personality shines on each page ofthe character herself is more of a universal avatar: “Daisy represents many children who find the most extraordinary inner strength whilst facing the injustice of childhood cancer.
Even once she was admitted, it took over a month to identify the cancer. Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis is rare but there is a broader problem. A lack of awareness has often meant that doctors have failed to pick up and piece together early signs and symptoms of cancer in children. Recent campaigns in the UK have sought to change this and awareness is growing. Early diagnosis significantly influences outcomes.
That evening, unable to sleep, I began to write. I wanted to capture Daisy’s sparkle and mischief and shine a light on it. Most of all I wanted to write her a story that would help her and her family and let them know that they were not alone.
