Autorenporträt

I'm Emerson the Brave, but I wasn't always known as that. My name is Emerson Hoogendoorn. I am 12 years old and I was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 6 when I had just finished kindergarten. I had to do many hard and challenging things and I wanted to show kids that it can be scary but you can do it because I did. In fourth grade, we did a project and wrote ABC books. We all picked a topic and wrote a full cover-to-cover ABC book and mine was things in the hospital. I told my teacher Ms. Kovacs that I thought it would be cool to make my little 4th grade project into a real book. I could use it to help kids with cancer and also to make money for my charity.This book is about my journey with cancer and the hard yet fun and exciting experiences that I've had through it. I wrote this book hoping to inspire kids to be BRAVE and to inform all the kids and even adults how things that happen in the hospital aren't always scary.
