Opis

Originally inspired by the author's personal surgery experience and a school Social Action Project, 11 year old Rylee Landau has created something very special with Jake's Ache. Description of the book:
Lori tells her story to her little cousin Jake, who had a very painful ache and found out that he needed to have surgery. But poor Jake also had an ache in his stomach from worrying about his surgery day. Lori knows exactly how Jake feels because she didn't know what to expect when she had to have surgery. Lori being a helpful girl, decides to tell her cousin her story because she doesn't want Jake to feel nervous. Jake learns everything he needs to know to be confident, prepared and less nervous on his surgery day. As protagonist Lori says, -Whether it's tonsils, an ear, or even a knee. Let me get to the point- you'll have to trust me...- This young author makes it very easy to trust and love Lori and worry less about an upcoming surgery day. What are physicians and surgeons saying about Jake's Ache? -This amazing book will help countless children deal with the worries that arise when they need surgery. Jake's Ache Rocks -

Marie V. Sanford, MD, New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York, NY -An excellent book for children written by a thoughtful young lady, Jake's Ache will help any child understand what to expect when having surgery.-
Robin Leader D.O., FAAP, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Hollywood, FL -Jake's Ache is a fun and cheerful story that will be enjoyed by children and their families as they prepare to have a positive surgery experience.-
Monica E Lopez, MD, Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX -I think every surgery waiting room/ hospital/ clinic should have a copy of this book. When I was younger and having surgery, I would have loved this book. (Actually, I'm pretty sure adults getting surgery would get something out of this book as well).-
