Could a printed interactive book help seriously ill children with cancer understand their complex treatment journey, alleviate anxiety around procedures, and ultimately get better? This premise is at the heart of Get Better Books. Paediatric anxiety can have serious effects on the short- and long-term psychological wellbeing of children. It can also have serious financial ramifications for hospitals too. Designed in close collaboration with clinicians, patients, psychologists, and LD specialists, the book translates complexity into witty interactive play, allowing children to both laugh and learn.
