Children and families don’t just need support while they are in the hospital, and so, giving caregivers the vocabulary and the tools to have important conversations with their child is important. Caregivers have different levels of comfort with hard conversations and don’t have the time or mental capacity to memorize all of the dos and the don’ts. This presentation will help professionals see the benefits of using the simple language available in children’s books, expose them to a growing world of children’s literature, and share some simple tools to help a CCLS create customized books for families.
