Sammy knows what it means to be brave. He is an ordinary kid who loves playing with his friends and family, and would eat a bucket of jelly beans-if his mom would let him! But he is also extraordinary. He lives with complex health challenges. Follow Sammy's journey-a life full of joys and struggles, pain and comfort, love and hope. Along the way, meet Sammy's family and friends, and the medical care givers in his world. The Jellybean Kid is the sixth book in the Compassion Series, written for children and the grownups in their world to foster thoughtful, meaningful, and compassionate conversations in families, classrooms, and communities. The comfort guide will help you process the sensitive experiences unique to young people living with critical or chronic illnesses and other serious health issues. The guide also provides an insightful look at the experiences of family members, health workers, and others who lovingly care for them. Guided by profound, shared real-life insights, this tender book helps children and adults to better support families with a child experiencing chronic or critical illness, and nurtures understanding and compassion among those who have not journeyed the same road
