Description


With a get-well drawing (an Annie original in crayon), a strong sense of curiosity, and her mother's gentle guidance, Annie's hospital visit includes an adventure filled with new friends, ice cream, and one of life's most important lessons: what we all share in common is greater than any physical differences that might set us apart. This straightforward story is meant to help avoid embarrassing and potentially hurtful moments by initiating a dialogue regarding physical challenges. Taking a direct approach at assuaging a child's innocent curiosity, it touches upon everything from wheelchairs to eyeglasses, promoting further discussion that fosters understanding and acceptance. It's also a healthy reminder for any adult reading the book.
