Review
Pennies, Nickels & Dimes ... is the best book I have read that tells the transplant story from a kid's perspective.... It also can be used for patients in need of other transplants as well. -- Richard E. Lofgren, DFRE, President and CEO Children's Organ Transplant Association, Inc. COTA

Wonderful Book!,
By Mrs. Peggy L. Sams (Chcukey, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pennies, Nickels & Dimes (Paperback)
As the parent of a 4 year old who is awaiting a liver transplant I would like to say a big thanks to the author for writing this book. My son loves it and I have read it to him several times since receiving it 3 days ago. His favorite page is when Dr. Tanner tells Ashley she can go home. I think it is very important that it shows Ashley all better and life after a transplant. Thanks again!Peggy Sams

This review is from: Pennies, Nickels & Dimes (Paperback)
I am not ready to read this book to my three year old daughter just yet. But she has the same disease as the child in the book and will eventually need a liver transplant someday. I am confident that this will help my child understand what she is going to face. The book is very forth right in its discussion of where the donor liver comes from and that is a very hard thing to have to tell a child... This will make it easier for me and I hope for my daughter too.
