Reach for this book when your child is feeling isolated by circumstances beyond their control, whether due to a health condition or a sense of being 'stuck' while the rest of the world moves on. This moving story follows Joe, a boy living in a sterile hospital room because of a severe autoimmune disorder. Through his eyes, we explore the deep ache of loneliness and the transformative power of a new friendship that refuses to let physical walls be the end of his story. It is a profound exploration of resilience and hope for ages 9 to 12. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of a restricted life while celebrating the creativity of the human spirit. It provides a gentle yet honest doorway to discuss gratitude, the meaning of true freedom, and how technology can bridge the gaps in our physical lives.
