    About this ebook

    Illness is distressing for anybody, but it’s especially disturbing for children. This book escorts the sick child through the strange, scary, and often lonely world of illness and hospitalization. Empathizing with the confusing feelings and questions sick children often have, it offers comfort and understanding. The little elves that populate its pages present creative ways for sick kids to have fun, stay connected with family and friends, and help themselves to heal.

      A Message to Parents, Teachers,

      and Other Caring Adults

      Illness is scary for any of us, but it can be especially disturbing for children. Illness is an assault on one’s very person.
