Book Description
While Ashley and her friends try to raise money for her liver transplant operation, she learns about the transplant and recovery process, including the knowledge that someone will die to provide the organ necessary for her to live. This children's book is lavishly told with 4-color drawings and includes a comprehensive glossary.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 2 reviews)

A great story about a child waiting for a liver.  
I am not ready to read this book to my three year old daughter just yet. But she has the same disease as the child in the book and will eventually need a liver transplant someday. I am confident that this will help my child understand what she is going to face. The book is very forth right in its discussion of where the donor liver comes from and that is a very hard thing to have to tell a child... This will make it easier for me and I hope for my daughter too.

Wonderful Book!  
As the parent of a 4 year old who is awaiting a liver transplant I would like to say a big thanks to the author for writing this book. My son loves it and I have read it to him several times since receiving it 3 days ago. His favorite page is when Dr. Tanner tells Ashley she can go home. I think it is very important that it shows Ashley all better and life after a transplant. Thanks again!
