While the illustrations were fine, and I get that the author was trying to keep kids with cancer from worrying, I really felt like Katie Kate was trying to convince readers that cancer is fun. For books about tough topics like this, I think there's a delicate balance that needs to be reached and this book didn't do it for me.
Also, I agree with a review I read on Amazon: In the story, the doctor tells the little girl that she might have cancer. You don't tell a kid that they MIGHT have cancer. You say you need to run a few more tests before you can tell anything for sure. If the child actually does have cancer, it's fine to tell them, but don't get everyone worried over something you're not sure of.
