Small But Mighty is a beautifully illustrated children's book written specifically for a mother to read to her premature baby. Follow her journey as she cares for her baby in the NICU, experiencing the joy, grief and unconditional love that comes with the birth of a preemie.

Every year, an estimated 15 million babies are born prematurely. They often require lengthy hospitalization that may result in speech and language delays later in life. Reading to preemies not only improves brain development, but may improve their vocabulary and reading proficiency as children and teens.

Many NICU moms report feeling helpless. It can be weeks, or even months, before they're able to participate in their baby's care. Reading "Small But Mighty" to their preemie in the NICU allows them to play an important role in their baby's long-term growth and development. And, as their preemie grows, this book serves as a reminder of the triumphant milestones accomplished in the NICU.
