Jacob has cancer and must stay in the hospital. His friend Zia starts a correspondence with him. Through their exchanges, Jacob confides in what he lives, and Zia tells him what's going on in class. We then discover their respective realities, their fears, their learnings, and the journey of remission.
Maude Nepveu-Villeneuve gives a book for children full of sensitivity and nuances on a delicate subject: childhood cancer. Despite the delicacy of the subject, the author signs a bright book, illustrated with brio by Agathe Bray-Bourret.
