With a loving family and a pretty bushland home, Sean Crooks' days
were full of
wonder and excitement. When, at age four, Sean was found to have a malignant
brain tumour, his life and the lives of those around him were changed
forever.
Within hours of that unexpected diagnosis an air ambulance was flying
him to
The Children's Hospital at Westmead in Sydney, Australia, for an extended
course
of palliative radiotherapy.
Simply and beautifully written, Can I Take My Panda Daddy? follows the
physical
and emotional journey taken by Sean and his family, from Sean's early
non-specific
symptoms through to the first anniversary of his death. In writing this
memoir,
Greg Crooks not only wanted to take the reader on Sean's 'journey' but
also
wanted the reader to discover and to love Sean as much as he did.
Can I Take My Panda Daddy? has been especially well received by families
who
have, for whatever reason and at whatever age, lost a child. And though
never
intended to be a reference text, Can I Take My Panda Daddy? has also
been well
received by grief and cancer organizations worldwide.
