Cancer Survivor’s Faith-Based Children’s Book Offers Message of Resilience and Self-Discovery

Award-winning interior designer and cancer survivor Isabel Dellinger Candelaria has released her first children’s book, ‘I Was A Moon,’ a faith-based narrative that encourages readers to embrace their unique purpose and inner light.

The book, illustrated by renowned artist Deborah League, emerged from Candelaria’s profound spiritual experience during her recovery from stage 4 breast cancer. Through a deeply personal narrative, she explores themes of resilience, gratitude, and self-discovery.

Drawing from research highlighting the importance of storytelling in children’s emotional development, ‘I Was A Moon’ offers a poignant message about individual worth and potential. The book challenges societal tendencies toward comparison by promoting self-appreciation and understanding one’s intrinsic value.

Candelaria’s inspiration came during a reflective prayer moment when she envisioned herself as a moon—fragmented yet transformed—radiating newfound purpose and gratitude. Her personal journey through cancer treatment profoundly influenced the book’s narrative, transforming a challenging experience into a message of hope and empowerment.

League’s illustrations complement the story’s emotional depth, using vibrant colors and imaginative imagery to bring the moon’s metaphorical journey to life. The collaborative effort between author and artist creates a visually and emotionally resonant experience for readers.

‘I Was A Moon’ is available online at artwanted.com, offering a meaningful resource for parents and educators seeking to inspire children’s self-understanding and emotional resilience.
