The Hospital Book
Lisa Brown, illustrated by Lisa Brown
A girl recounts a hospital stay for appendicitis by noting the times she cries and the times she does not. Her first visit includes a stomachache, needle poke, news of surgery, and an overnight stay with her father nearby. Medical staff check her vital signs, give her a gown and IV, and perform an ultrasound. After surgery and anesthesia, she returns home, where familiar pajamas and her family accompany relieved tears.
