11. What the children say
I think this book is superb, fantastic and amazing.
I LOVE this book
The drawings are outstanding and I also love the writing
I would recommend this book to all ages and think it is very helpful if you are having a transplant.

12. What the professionals said
It’ s a great book with lovely illustrations and it’s good to see it has pictures and talks about all the things included in the care before and after a transplant to prepare the children for all the things that will happen to them (as well as you possibly could).
Will also be good for the teachers/schools to see so they know what to expect and how to tell the other children about it for when Charlie leaves/returns to school post tx. Vicky
This is absolutely wonderful. As a parent of a transplanted child we would have loved to have one. What a great aid for mums/dads and HCPs alike. Great to see the Transplant Games mentioned too. Well done Leeds and thanks for letting us see it. John
