The Gift of the Ladybug is a magical story of love, joy, and radical acceptance through the eyes of two horses who learn their son is actually a ladybug.
This book was born during one of the author's darkest moments. After learning that her son TJ had a progressive mitochondrial disease, Carole Mac did not think she could go on. Suddenly, she saw horses and ladybugs floating in her mind. The horses were crying because they just learned the news about their ladybug. The ladybug was confused. "Why are you crying?" he said. "But I don't know how to be a horse. I only know how to be a ladybug." This divine metaphor gave Carole Mac instant relief in that harrowing moment, and helped her reframe her circumstances. It allowed her to cherish TJ exactly as he was, be in the present moment, live with more peace and joy, and radically accept her circumstances. Because this story was so transformative for her, she hopes that it brings comfort, peace, and love to other families facing difficult diagnoses.
What started as a children's bibliotherapy book has quickly become a movement in how to face difficult diagnoses with peace, love, and power. It's embraced by children, parents, teachers, therapists, hospitals, and communities with children facing medical differences.
