My Early Surprise

Are you looking for a colorful, rhythmic story to read to your preemie?

Are you a family member or friend of a preemie parent?

Are you a neonatologist or a NICU nurse searching for a fun story to recommend to parents of preemies?

Were you born premature and are looking for a creative way to explain your birth story to your child?

Are you a parent looking for an engaging, diverse, and entertaining story to read to your little one?

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, then yes, this BOOK IS FOR YOU!  

Every life is precious, but those who come into this world too early, fighting from the very moment they are born, are special in a way that can only be understood by their mothers. The worry and concern coupled with the inability to hold one's own child and help them through their fight eventually gives way to joy and pride.  The will of a child to survive and win at life is remarkable.

My Early Surprise:  A Bedtime Story for Preemies demonstrates the courage of preterm babies and serves as a reminder to these children, and all children, that they can overcome anything they set their minds to.  Charting moments of joy, fear, uncertainty, and relief, this bedtime read will help comfort and inspire children in times of doubt and insecurity.
