Is your child preparing for surgery and wondering what their hospital day might be like?
Join Olivia and her cuddly rabbit, Pip, as they pack a hospital bag, meet the people who will care for her, ask important questions and discover what happens before an operation.
With warmth, gentle humour and reassuring illustrations, Olivia's Hospital Adventure introduces children to experiences they may encounter on surgery day, including meeting the hospital team, wearing a gown and meeting the anaesthetic mask. Along the way, Olivia learns that it is okay to feel unsure and take every new experience one small step at a time.
Created for children aged 4-9, this comforting picture book can help parents and caregivers:
- begin calm, age-appropriate conversations about surgery
- encourage children to share their questions and worries
- introduce unfamiliar hospital experiences in a gentle way
- help children feel informed, included and supported
The book also includes a special Certificate of Bravery for children to celebrate their hospital adventure.
A warm and reassuring story for families preparing for an upcoming surgery, because bravery does not mean never feeling worried. Sometimes, it simply means taking the next small step.
