Getting Ready for My Surgery is a gentle, reassuring guide designed to prepare young children for what to expect when they have surgery. Through a simple and engaging narrative, this book takes readers on a journey through a day at the hospital, from checking in at the desk and getting a special wristband to waking up after surgery with a new superhero cape (also known as a hospital gown). Along the way, children are invited to participate in a playful scavenger hunt, spotting items like white coats, stethoscopes, and wheelchairs, making the hospital environment feel more familiar and less scary.
With comforting words and a focus on empowerment, Getting Ready for My Surgery aims to reduce anxiety and make the surgical experience as positive as possible for children and their families. It's the perfect companion for young patients, providing them with the knowledge and courage to face surgery with confidence.
