Product Description
In this timeless classic, the Peanuts gang faces the serious sickness of a good friend with all the sensitivity, caring, and warmth that is the trademark of Charles Schultz’s work. Why, Charlie Brown, Why? is a heartwarming story of a child dealing with great challenges and profound questions.
When young Janice is diagnosed with leukemia, Charlie Brown looks for answers, Linus becomes her protector, Lucy doesn’t understand, Snoopy dons his '”World’s Greatest Surgeon” togs, and the whole gang does some soul searching. In his own inimitable style, Charles Schulz brings this touching tale to life. With charm and compassion, he tells of the effect of Janice’s illness on her family, her classmates, and, of course, her friends.
For more than a decade, Why, Charlie Brown, Why? has helped children to understand what happens when someone they love is sick. Now this wonderful book is available once again to serve as a guide for future generations. |

Great book for kids going thru this.... 
My 8 year old just learned that his best friend has leukemia. This book does a fantastic job of explaining to a child, what happens to someone who is facing this illness. I don't feel that it is too harsh, as some have reported. Cancer is a reality and unfortunatly our children occassionally come into contact with a friend or someone they know who is diagnosed with it. This book helps our kids to understand that their friend is still the same person who happens to be dealing with a serious illness and helps prepare them for changes that will occur in their friends life and appearance.

intense reading 
The good message of how to relate to seriously ill children is dealt with in too heavy-handed a manner for young children. Parents will want to preview the story before sharing it with children less than high school age.

I remeber this Video and I am glad there is a book
I am appauld by the person whom posted a comment regarding that children have enough to deal with in the world. I am a survivor of Childhood Cancer and I wish that this was a book and video played in my class when I was sick.
I was picked on for having no hair, being bald in first grade, throwing up on the play ground and being laughed at.
What would you feel like it you were diagnosed with cancer and not sure if you were going to live to see second grade.
Charles Schulz was a great man, and he helped bring lessons to children and adults through his strip.

wonderful
My little girl developed leukemia when she was 2 and 1/2 and THIS was the only and BEST way she understood that she was not alone and what she had(on her terms). I was SO impressed that Charles Schultz did this book/video, etc. As far as kids who don't have to deal with a serious illness, I think that this book is very well written for any child as to not treat others who don't "look" the same badly and know that God made us all different-or this world would be dull. I give thanks to the writer for such a wonderful story-HOPE included!

A Helpful Guide for Classmates
As a parent of a child who has been through leukemia treatment, I can't tell you how many times the video (didn't even know there was a book until now) of this story has been recommended to new parents, and for sharing with classmates of a leukemia patient. Along with our copy of "Sesame Street Goes to the Hospital," and Mister Rogers' "Going to the Hospital," this is part of our 'permanent collection.'
