Description
Becoming a parent is so exciting but can also be scary at the same time. Having a child who deals with medical complexities sometimes makes becoming a parent a little bit harder. My husband and I know firsthand because we have a child with medical needs. This book was inspired by our daughter, and it is here for you to rejoice with your child and to share all of the accomplishments your family and your child has overcome.
This book is here because your child, just like ours, deserves to be celebrated, and so do you. This book will also serve as a good teaching tool for children and families without medical needs.
One day at a time, you and I can make the world a more diverse, inclusive place.

Kait Parrish is a North Carolina native born and raised in the small town of Hickory. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree at East Carolina University in the field of Recreational Therapy, and then went on to complete her Associate's degree in Nursing at Watt's School of nursing. Kait was an Emergency Department Nurse at Duke University before deciding to be a stay-at-home mom to her daughter Addison who was born at twenty-four weeks gestation. While in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit for eight months Kait enjoyed reading many different books to her daughter. Addison has multiple medical issues, and Kait felt like there weren't many books that focused on diversity and inclusion. Once home, Kait decided to write her first children's book based around children with many different medical conditions. This book is wonderful for parents of children with medical needs, and also parents of children without medical needs. It can be a great teaching tool to show others what inclusion really looks like. Kait is thrilled to invite you to purchase a copy of her book, and she hopes you will find comfort and peace in the words and illustrations that are so beautifully depicted on each page.
