I am an adult, born with hydrocephalus, and I would have loved to have had a book like this when I was a kid. It's written in easy-to-understand language for young children, and I'm especially excited about that, because I think they'll truly feel reassured that they aren't alone, as I thought I was for 23 years.Some years ago, there was a book about a beagle, Barney, who had "hydro." The book was written for kids ages 3-6 or so, and it was, unfortunately, discontinued. I see this book as a great successor. If you are a parent of a young child with hydrocephalus, or even if you're a parent who has it and has young children who have, or will soon have, questions about it, this is a great place to start. Please pick it up. You'll be glad you did.
I was excited when I came across this book for my baby with hydrocephalus, and it exceeded my expectations. Even though he is too young now, I know that this book will help in explaining it to him. The illustrations are so cute too! Would definitely purchase for any child with hydrocephalus!
This is the only book I've found that explains shunts in simple terms that children can understand. I am already reading this book to my two year old, and although some of the passages are a little too long to hold her attention, I know she's absorbing the information. I also can read this story to her cousins (who are 1, 5, and 8), to help them understand why my daughter has surgeries on her head. I would recommend this book for anyone who has a young child with hydrocephalus.
An excellent book to introduce hydrocephalus to a child with the condition or to other children to make them understand. Written very simply, text and illustrations paint a very realistic picture of what a child with hydrocephalus goes through. My niece read it and I find it is the best and simplest way to explain the medical condition.
My little girl had a shunt put in when she was 1 1/2 and I bought this book for my son who was 7 at the time to help him understand what was happening. Actually a lot of adults have read through this to get a quick understanding of the situation as well. I highly, highly recommend this book.
