My Nonna’s Boo Boo: A Lung Transplant Story

Gio’s Nonna has been sick for a long time. Her lungs are hurt, and the doctor says she needs new ones. This is frustrating for Gio because he wants to play with her, but he can’t. Join Gio as his patience and understanding are tested during his Nonna’s journey to get new lungs.

Note from the Author: I wrote this story to explain to my son what was going on with his grandmother. He was starting to ask a lot of questions, that I couldn’t seem to answer quite right. I wrote the book, and had it drawn, so he could see what I was telling him. I wasn’t expecting it to work so well, and to help other children as much as it did. I hope this assists you through the process of an organ transplant, like it did for my son.
