I'd Rather Be A Fairy Princess by Petra Kotrotsos

At the age of six, all Petra Kotrotsos wanted to be was a fairy princess. But after a playground fall, she discovered she was very sick. The doctors diagnosed her with neuroblastoma, rushed her into surgery and put her on a course of chemotherapy. Petra realised she needed more than wings and fairy dust to get through the next few years, she needed to be a fairy warrior and fight it. Petra wrote her story when she was seven years old. Up until she reached the age of 15, neuroblastoma recurred four times. Now 19, Petra wants to share what happened to her so other children and their families won't feel so scared or so alone, and doctors and nurses can understand better what it is their patients face. This 2018 Makaro Press Softcover is brand new.
