What Does Brave Feel Like

Authors: Judy Garner and Javeria Khan

Some kids might need to go to the hospital once or twice. Ismaeel and Ebony need to go back every month for their magic medicine.

Each month, they sit in waiting rooms, meet other kids and face the part they dread the most – the needles. With Yellow Pup close by, Ismaeel learns that being brave can also feel like being scared, nervous or anxious. The brave part means showing up anyway.

Follow Ismaeel and Ebony for an honest look at what hospital days can be like for children receiving immunoglobulin infusions. Along the way, they discover friendship,  understanding and the quiet strength that comes from knowing they are not alone.
