The book walks you through and helps ease the anxiety of the real-life events that happen during Sammy’s hospital visit and beyond. The surprise kisses are a brilliant and whimsical way to portray all of Sammy’s get-well wishes, thoughts and prayers. They are Sammy’s reminders of how much she is loved.
Comforting, sweet story…captures the feelings of the whole family. It realistically portrays the patience needed before a child is restored to full activity. This is a loving story that educates, encourages and entertains.
