Support for Families and Kids Overcoming Illness
Readers join Anya as she interacts with the nurse, doctor, and her friends in the space of healing. Author Christina Walker has skillfully written this book to inspire conversation between children and their family members while helping young children express their different emotions around being in the hospital and not feeling well. This story emphasizes that the earlier the child is able to feel, identify, or name the emotion they are feeling, the sooner they may be able to process the entire situation, ultimately clearing the way to let go of any residual fear or negative lasting effects. When we are all able to have conversations around these big feelings, we are able to work through obstacles together.
