Baby Hearts Press' first children's book is My Brother Needs an Operation.
This book is the story of how Joey's life was affected when his little
brother, Alex, had to go to the hospital. The story shows the different ways
Alex's hospitalization affected Joey. What makes this book unique is the
Hospital Diary and Activity section for the unhospitalized sibling. There is
room for the child to add photographs, draw pictures, write feelings, etc. This
book, when completed, will be a memoir of your family's experience of having a
hospitalized and unhospitalized child.
