Author Jill Cook shows young readers ages 3 to 6, what happens during a hospital visit in Buddy Brown Goes To The Hospital ($14.99, paperback, 9781662832727; $26.99, hardcover, 9781662832734; $5.99, e-book, 9781662832741).
Through the eyes of an adorable teddy bear named Buddy Brown, Cook cleverly spins a scary trip to the hospital into an understanding that a hospital is a place filled with compassion. Buddy is transported to the hospital by ambulance after an unfortunate skiing mishap. Throughout his hospital journey, young readers will witness the kind and helpful treatment that Buddy receives from doctors, nurses and x-ray technicians. Cook’s animated story aims to remove some of a child’s fears of the unfamiliarity surrounding a hospital.
“I wrote this book to reassure children about the hospital,” said Cook.
Jill Cook is a retired nurse who lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She is a mom of two grown children and a wife to Brian. She enjoys gardening and travelling and being a host at her Christian retreat.
Cook expanded the “Buddy Brown” character in her book to real life encouragement. Get well cards are sent from this kind-hearted fictional teddy bear to children in the hospital. To learn more about this incredible mission, parents can contact Buddy at buddytheteddy@gmail.com or follow Buddy’s weekly adventures on his Facebook group, “Friends of Buddy Brown” or on Instagram.
