The Vase of Flowers is a picture book for preschool children and their mothers who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and it is principally aimed to promote their resilient attitude by fostering and facilitating their emotional communication. A report of the National Cancer Institute indicates that about 5% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States is delivered to young people, aged between 15 and 39 years [1]. According to these data, cancer in young women can be considered infrequent, and, consequently, the presence of this health condition/disease in women during the years following their pregnancy is even rarer. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Abstract
The Vase of Flowers is a picture book for preschool children and their mothers who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and it is principally aimed to promote their resilient attitude by fostering and facilitating their emotional communication. A report of the National Cancer Institute indicates that about 5% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States is delivered to young people, aged between 15 and 39 years [1]. According to these data, cancer in young women can be considered infrequent, and, consequently, the presence of this health condition/disease in women during the years following their pregnancy is even rarer. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
