SHOW GUEST: Sally Loughridge, PHd
Daniel and His Starry Night Blanket, is a tale of a young child whose older sister has cancer. The book
chronicles the boy's development and relationship with his sister as the family confronts this health
challenge together. In the midst of such an unfamiliar situation, younger siblings of an ill child often feel
left out, angry, sad, scared, guilty, and envious. Sally Loughridge's book is a resource for families with
young children on such a journey through life-threatening pediatric illness.
