About this item
by Monique Jenkins (Author)
Join Olivia, a bright and brave little girl, as she learns to care for her new ostomy with the help of her nurses, family and a big imagination. Through her journey, young readers discover that having an ostomy is just one part of who she is - and it doesn't stop her from playing, learning, or being her amazing self.
This gentle, engaging story helps demystify ostomy care for children and their families, offering reassurance, understanding, and encouragement every step of the way. Featuring colorful illustrations and kid-friendly language, this book encourages meaningful conversations while reducing fear and stigma.
Created by a pediatric surgery nurse practitioner, Olivia's New Friend is not only a heartfelt tale for young readers - it's also a valuable resource for nurses and healthcare providers to support teaching and family education in clinical settings.
Perfect for home, hospitals, and classrooms, this book celebrates strength, self-care, and the power of support.
