My Project

My students have been admitted to a pediatric hospital for a variety of illnesses, disorders, and treatment needs. They range in age from three to thirteen and come from a diverse range of schools, backgrounds, and even countries.

Despite going through the challenges of hospitalization, my inspiring students are eager to continue learning.

This collection of stories is meant to bring joy and comfort to my students in hospital schools.

This collection of books are fun (and funny!) to listen to, helping them feel a little lighter even on tough days. Each story is chosen to bring smiles, spark imagination, and remind my students how brave and strong they really are. Whether it’s through a silly adventure or a heartwarming tale, these books are here to make their time in the hospital a little brighter and more hopeful.

Thank you for your support in my project!
