If anyone has a great way to deal with adversity, it’s Caleb Wright.

At the age of 9, Caleb was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Since then he’s had multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation to learn how to talk and walk again.

But Caleb is a budding comedian.  He likes to have a laugh.

So much so, that a year ago Caleb decided to create a joke book to help other children who are having a tough time.

With the help of the Child Cancer Foundation, he has created Caleb’s Joke Book.

Caleb and his Mum Jennie joined Andrew Dickens to discuss how the book came about and how humour is important for those going through tough times.
