Download or read book Your Transplant Adventure written by Matt Butler and published by Health Sciences Publishing Services. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This picture book was created for young children who are in need of a solid organ transplant. It was developed by two dedicated Social Workers at the University of Michigan Transplant Center to give these children and their families something to put them more at ease with the organ transplant process and to help them understand that they are not alone. The bright and colorful illustrations appeal to a child's eye. Simple text accompanies each illustration. A direct question (e.g. "Will I have stitches or a scar?") on one page is answered on the facing page, beneath an original illustration (e.g. "Your doctor will use stitches or a special kind of glue to help your body heal from the surgery. After the stitches come out, you will have a scar. This will always remind you of how brave you were!"). This book is the perfect accompaniment for young children who may need a transplant, as well as for siblings and other family members who have questions and would appreciate some assistance on how to talk about the transplant process.
