About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling left out or frustrated because age restrictions or health protocols prevent them from visiting a sick loved one in the hospital. It is a gentle tool for addressing the 'invisible' barrier children often face during family medical crises, helping them process the feeling of being too small to help. Rosie's story follows her attempts to see her grandmother, only to be stopped by hospital rules. Instead of giving up, she finds a creative way to send her love through the hospital windows. This realistic fiction title is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the sadness of a relative's illness. It validates their feelings of exclusion while modeling how empathy and problem-solving can turn a helpless situation into a moment of joy and connection.
