Description
For children who have had open heart surgery to repair a congenital heart defect, this book offers a reassuring explanation of how they got their scar. Written and illustrated by someone who knows the experience firsthand, it tells the story of a little girl and her bunny rabbit as they explore activities and show that having a heart scar doesn't make them any different.
With age-appropriate illustrations and no graphic content, this book aims to help children with a CHD feel comfortable in their own skin. It's a gentle and accessible way to address the question of how someone got a scar on their chest.
Aimed at families, schools and hospitals who care for children with heart defects, Zip-line is a helpful resource that can be shared with others who may be going through similar experiences.
