Book 12: Always Jack

Always Jack
Written by Susanne Gervay and illustrated by Cathy Wilcox


This particular book the third instalment of the Jack series. With collaboration with Cancer Council NSW and National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre this book tackles the difficult issue. Jack is dealing with a lot of issues at the moment, girls, his mother getting married, and moving house. Readers experience Jacks emotions through the diagnosis, treatment and after-shock. Despite the storyline and setting having a heavy topics, the book is funny and quirky. The book teaches children who aren't in this situation understanding and empathy; for kids who are experiencing a similar situation or gone through it that they're not alone and whatever 
emotions they are experiencing they are okay and normal.
