New Releases by Daxton Wilde

I'm A Superhero reaches beyond borders and cultures, helping children and their families to be brave, helping parents explain cancer to their young children, and helping families cope with one of life's most difficult situations through love and humor.
Written by four-year-old Daxton Wilde with the help of his mother while he was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments for a brain tumor, the book places Wilde as the central character, a superhero fighting "a bad guy named Cancer" with the help of "Captain Chemo."
Daxton Wilde was just four years old when doctors discovered a tumor on his brain. Months of aggressive treatment including chemotherapy and radiation followed, but Daxton never once complained. He turned instead to drawing. He drew his doctors, his nurses, his first helicopter ride, and his family as they kept him company in the hospital. He also loved to draw pictures of the superhero he created, "Captain Chemo," who battled the bad guy growing inside him.
Although Daxton Wilde lost his battle with cancer at age five, his touching story lives on to help others. I'm a Superhero has already been translated into Spanish and Japanese, and will soon feature translation in Arabic, German, Thai, and Chinese.
"Daxton the Superhero" still has lots of work to do. After all, heroes are always up, up, and away... and on to the next courageous deed.
Daxton Wilde was a five-year-old superhero who battled "the bad guy named cancer" with unfailing optimism and bravery. During his illness, Daxton spent much of his treatment at home with his family, where he worked on writing and illustrating this book with the help of is mother, Sherry. Sherry and her husband, Scott, live with their children in Utah.
The Daxton Wilde Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing hope, comfort, and strength to those suffering from the psychological trauma associated with cancer, especially in children. The Daxton Wilde Foundation was created to help spread Daxton's inspirational story around the world. A portion of royalties from sales of the book will be donated to the foundation.
