Making the World a Beautiful Place: A Thank You
A New Story by Michelle Edwards
|
|
|
|
It was the little girl in her miniature hospital bed who turned my focus away from the story I was reading to knitting. An ancient-faced toddler. Her hair brittle. Her pale skin papery thin. November 14, 2007. University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic's library. I had been invited there to do a reading and an activity for Children's Book Week. For the hospital's youngest patients.
Reading and visits to schools, libraries, or anywhere kids are, is what children's book authors do. It's what I do. What I have done for over 20 years. But never before at a hospital. And never with really sick children.
