We were pleased with the book. It helped our daughters understand that they are not alone in the world. There are others brothers/sisters out there that also have sick siblings, too.

Our 2 year old was having surgery, and it was difficult on the whole family, but especially difficult for our 5 year old. She couldn't understand why everyone was making such an issue about her little sister, and why she wasn't getting more attention. The book also helped me understand what she was feeling a little better. The surgery went well, and we all hope we don't need this book again, but it's nice to have just in case.
