About this title

Synopsis

When Alesia Shute was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 7, her life was redirected. She would survive six major surgeries, several minor surgeries, hours of pain and months of hospitalization. Everything's Okay from Round Table Comics is an illustrated account of her survival detailing not only the challenges of her recovery, but her desire to give back and make a difference in the lives of families suffering from childhood illnesses.

Review

"It’s really good. Maybe even great. You should hunt it down. But it’s about something very scary – childhood cancer – and it doesn’t pull any punches, emotional or physical. There is none of the sentimentality that so often accompanies stories about cancer survivors. Instead, there are real emotions (not just the noble ones) that reinforce Alesia’s humanity, and make her experiences believably real." -- Martha Thomases, ComicMix

"Approximately 12,400 children each year are diagnosed with cancer. Their families are thrown into a world they want no part of and yet they have to quickly learn to navigate it. A book like Alesia’s can give parents and older kids a preview of what they may endure—and more importantly, a whole lot of hope." -- Parents Magazine
