      Family stories of survivors

      The book “Hippopotamus for Christmas”

      The book “Hippopotamus for Christmas” is a biographical story of a father who writes about his son with bone cancer. This book does not avoid the difficult feelings of helplessness, frustration, anger. But throughout the story you will find the hope for a futureas a common thread. A book that a fellow sufferer can recognize themselves in.

      The comforting hippo throughout the book Brul is called Brul. Brul is for sale as a cuddly toy in the webshop.
