Tim-Tim and the Sickly Monster

Little Tim-Tim wakes up one morning with the Sickly Monster by his side. The Sickly Monster seems to want to do everything that Tim-Tim does and follows Tim-Tim around everywhere the little boy goes. The Sickly Monster is rather unwell. And when he follows Tim-Tim around, it makes the little boy unwell as well. The Sickly Monster even follows Tim-Tim to school climbing in his backpack. Mr Mole, Mrs Duck, Mr Baboon and all the other teachers at school try to help Tim-Tim do his lessons by offering to watch or hold the Sickly Monster. And at the end of the day, when Tim-Tim is about to go home, Mrs Hippo, the school nurse, comes up with a brilliant solution to help Tim-Tim go home monster-free.Julie G Fox (author): "I wrote the book on hearing the story of a young boy from Ukraine who had Leukaemia. His strategy for coping with his treatment was to characterise his illness as a sickly monster which he needed to fight off. Thankfully the young boy is in remission and his mother was so pleased with the book that she asked me to share it with as many Children's Hospitals and wards as I am able to. I am very pleased to say that hundreds of copies of the book were donated to children's wards throughout the UK and the book is being currently translated into German, French and Spanish languages." Sue Ellis (Lead Nurse for Paediatrics at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust): "The book is excellently written and illustrated. We have placed copies in the consulting rooms so that the clinicians can give them to relevant families. We have no doubt that this will bring a smile to their faces and help them through difficult times."
