For the Love of Sister...A Sibling's Story

Through its compassionate storytelling, the book explores themes of love, sadness, and the enduring bond between siblings. It is developmentally appropriate for children ages 4 to 10, providing a safe space to process the reality of hospitals and medical equipment. Parents will find it a helpful tool for opening honest dialogue, ensuring the 'well child' feels seen and heard during an incredibly taxing time for the entire family unit.
