When our baby was in NICU, I couldn't find the right book to help my big kids understand the NICU journey, so I wrote it myself.
For kids with baby siblings in NICU or hospital, this book is a survival handbook.
For families who have endured their own NICU journey, this book is a heartfelt tribute and beautiful commemorative keepsake.
For non-NICU families, this book is an insightful glimpse into another world where babies need extra care, and a gentle introduction into understanding other people's unimaginable stories.
I hope this book finds its way into the homes and hearts of everyone who needs the medicine of stories.
When a new baby arrives in the NICU, the whole family goes on an unexpected journey. Counting on You follows Otto as he makes sense of his baby brother's hospital stay — with warmth, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.

Such a beautiful book, it should be in every NICU, Ronald McDonald House and family home.

I meet so many families whose little babies have to go to neonatal ICU and this book can help everyone understand what the heck's going on. This beautiful book explains it, not only for the children, but for the families all around us. I love this book and I can't wait to see it in every neonatal ward, but also in our libraries and in our early childhood settings.
