Books On Children With Medical Complexities For Your Family

These books can be found for order online, and have been recommended by parents and health care professionals as ways to educate yourself, your children, or anyone else who plays an important role in your family’s life.

Don’t Call Me Special by Pat Thomas
This was one we’ve recently heard about – definitely a great one to add to the list! Watch for your book to come in the mail.
The Tiniest Warrior of All by Maher. Its a book about being born pre- term which as we know can lead to kids having disabilities.
What a great book for many of our families! Thanks for passing it along. We’ll get your copy of The Rosie Summer out in the mail today!
I had no idea there were such books out there, so I don’t have a favorite but would love to have the Rosie Summer for Calvin and make it his favorite 🙂 He is tube fed and this would be great to read to him.
We would love to send one out to you, Emily! Watch for it in the mail in the next few days. Thanks for reading!
