I like the way the story moves toward recovery and wellness.

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.
A loving, sweet story of a little girl’s broken leg and recovery that is informative and medically accurate.
Nicholas Ettinger, MD, Pediatrician
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.
Steven Passik, PhD, Pain Psychologist
The book helps kids struggling with a physical condition and tells them they aren’t alone.

As a pediatrician, I think this story about dealing with a [cumbersome] cast is just right. It is very nicely done.
Walter Harrison, MD, FAAP
Outstanding among broken bone books, this book:
Gives children and their families realistic expectations about recovery.
Gives children a secret source of patience and power over their circumstance.
