One minute your child is fine. The next minute, a broken bone. Hours later, in a clunky cast. For weeks or months, sidelined from favorite activities. If your child is like Sammy, (s)he gets glum and grumpy as days slog by.
Help is pages away in Sammy's Broken Leg (Oh, No!) and the Amazing Cast That Fixed It, a whimsical book to entertain a child in a cast for healing a broken bone, or in a spica cast for hip correction (hip dysplasia).
Children in a cast will delight in a troupe of Kisses who cheer for Sammy and coach her to be patient. The Kisses are Sammy's secret: only she can hear them. How and when they whooshed into her life will amaze and amuse.
It all goes to prove: One Kiss for a Boo-Boo. A Bazillion Kisses for a Cast!
Lavished with colorful, quirky illustrations, Sammy's Broken Leg (Oh, No!) and the Amazing Cast That Fixed It is entertaining, educational and encouraging. The book:

Experts recommend SAMMY'S BROKEN LEG (OH, NO!) AND THE AMAZING CAST THAT FIXED IT for young children recovering from the physical and emotional upset of life interrupted by a cast:
"Comforting, sweet story...captures the feelings of the whole family. It realistically portrays the patience needed before a child is restored to full activity. This is a loving story that educates, encourages and entertains."
- STEVEN PASSIK, PHD, PAIN PSYCHOLOGIST
"A loving, sweet story of a little girl's broken leg and recovery that is informative and medically accurate."
- NICHOLAS ETTINGER, MD, PEDIATRICIAN
"The book walks you through, and helps ease the anxiety, of the real life events that happen during Sammy's hospital visit and beyond. The surprise kisses are a brilliant and whimsical way to portray all of Sammy's get-well wishes, thoughts and prayers. They are Sammy's reminders of how much she is loved."
- THERESA LEPORE, DIRECTOR, MICAH CHILDREN'S ACADEMY, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
"This story about dealing with a [cumbersome] cast is just right. It is very nicely done."
- WALTER HARRISON, MD, FAAP, PEDIATRICIAN
"The best way to tell a big story is a small story well told. This is a must-read for children suffering from a broken leg or arm."
- DENNY MOSESMAN, MSSW, CERTIFIED PARENT EDUCATOR
"upbeat, colorful, entertaining...an amazing book! Perfect gift for a grandchild who's broken a bone -- or is about to experience some other sort of potentially scary medical procedure...This is a perfect book to give any child in advance of a planned procedure that will result in a cast. It's a great book to read in the pediatrician's office. And good for teachers who might want to educate primary school children on why another child is in a cast. The bright and upbeat illustrations by Lise C. Brown are perfect. Highly recommended!"
