The Hospital Bedtime Story

by Jessica Ehret

Overview

Staying overnight in the hospital is not ideal, but Riley is able to find ways to think positively about the situation and the new surroundings.

"The Hospital Bedtime Story" is comforting, light-hearted, and intended to provide a bit of normalcy for children at a stressful time. Children tend to be fantasy thinkers; correcting their misconceptions about medical encounters can improve their perception of hospitals and health care for a lifetime.
