Book Angels was created in 2022 by Crystal Leonardi, founder of Bowerbird Publishing and award-winning author.

 

"I wish I had a book like 'My Brother Sebastian' when my son, Sebastian, was first diagnosed.

Not just for the support it would have provided for me as a mother, but it would have also reminded me that I am not alone in this battle against cancer."

​

  Looking at picture books together invites little ones to communicate with parents, both verbally and non-verbally. The gift of donation will open the lines of communication between parent and child and provide parents with a resource for explaining a cancer diagnosis to their child. Every single dollar received will go towards the printing and distribution of books to families in need. These families battling cancer need your help. Some of them are navigating the cancer world completely isolated from their loved ones. Together, we can make a difference by bringing them comfort and hope in the form of Crystal's book, 'My Brother Sebastian, Explaining Cancer to Kids.' 

​

Crystal's goal for 2023 is to raise $5000, which would fund the printing and distribution costs of 500 books for kids in  hospital - that's just over 40 books per month, and more than 1 per day for our Aussie kids fighting cancer!
