“Who Are You, Cancer?” is an absolute gem of a children’s book that shines with inspiration, love, and resilience. This beautifully told story follows Myla “Turbo” Goodwin and her incredible family, as written by her extraordinary mother, Camilla Goodwin. From the first colorful page, you’re drawn into Myla’s world—a journey marked by courage and hope in the face of cancer. It’s not just a story; it’s a lifeline for kids in similar situations, offering them a friend in Myla and a reminder they’re not alone.
Camilla’s storytelling is tender and uplifting, weaving an adventure that’s both relatable and empowering. Myla, with her “Turbo” spirit, leaps off the page as a beacon of strength, and her family’s unwavering support paints a vivid picture of love in action. This book should be in the hands of every child navigating a tough diagnosis—it’s a hug in book form, showing them they can face anything with grit and grace.
The colorful artwork is the cherry on top, bursting with energy and warmth that perfectly complements the text. Each illustration feels like a celebration of Myla’s spirit, making the book as visually delightful as it is emotionally resonant. I’m already eagerly awaiting more of Myla’s adventures—this is a family you’ll want to follow forever. Five stars for a book that’s as inspiring as it is beautiful!

A Heartwarming Must-Read for Every Child Facing Challenges
I absolutely LOVED this book! It touched me so deeply that I nearly burst into tears, knowing that My My isn’t here to see it in person. But as I read, it felt as if she were the one sitting here next to me telling me the story- I could almost hear her voice through the pages, even though I know you were the one who wrote it. The story itself is beautiful and absolutely hilarious (her and her jokes, I can’t even! 🤣), and the illustrations are stunning - so bright and colorful, just like My My! My only complaint? I wish it were longer! But I’ll happily read it over and over again! Mama Goodwin, you did an INCREDIBLE job with this book, and I know for a well known fact that My My is super proud of you too! ♥️ If I could give this an infinite amount of stars, I would, and I will never forget what My My taught me from her story: having humor, big or small, can brighten even the darkest times!

A Brave Heart Wrapped in Laughter!
This book was beautifully written and explores the challenges of childhood cancer. I commend the author for summoning the courage to write this book, as it provides knowledge, comfort and support for many people. The book also provides a message of hope and resilience, which will encourage young readers in any capacity to acknowledge and face their fears. This book also provides colorful illustrations and an engaging storyline, making it accessible for children and families that are affected by cancer. God bless the author and their family.

Beautiful!
A book for every kid, parent, sibling, or friend of someone facing cancer. From knock knock jokes to checking into The Ritz (aka the hospital), this book will make you laugh, cry, and even feel uplifted. Myla's voice is heard with every word that I read. A must read!!!

A must read!!!
Some topics in life, like cancer, can be very difficult to explain to a young child. This book helps to navigate this process in a lighthearted way using humor, imagination and courage. Written well and quality picture illustration that creates a magical story for kids to enjoy and escape momentarily the tough challenges of cancer. I would recommend this book for children ages 4 to 12 years old. Not only for kids fighting cancer but any child impacted by other friends or family who are affected by cancer.

Imaginative storytelling for courage fighting cancer.
An amazing and incredible story ... a very brave story - one told from the perspective of a child (sweet Myla). A story that will help others understand this terrible disease in a way that is less scary. If you have on know anyone going through this terrible journey, share this with them. It will help. God Bless you Camilla and your willingness to help others.

Our daughter is a warrior and we read this book together and LOVED every moment of it! As I read it to her we could feel and relate to it. When I asked our daughter what she liked the most she said she liked it because our was Mylas words and could relate with her! Many blessings to Mylas family for sharing her story with the world!
