You can see me, Scotland The Brave, being brave in a new book called When A Brave Bear Fights Cancer: A Get Well Soon Gift, by Carola Schmidt. Carola Schmidt is an award-winning author of children’s cancer books,

In the book, I'm a little bear who gets a bad sickness called cancer. I am worried and often I am scared because cancer is scary. Always I am trying very hard to be brave. The book is to help kids feel much more brave, like me, when they are getting treatment.

It is illustrated by Mark O'Dwyer who is my Guardian . All the bears in our house helped to make the book.
