NOTES
"This fun, rhyming book is ideal for helping tube-fed children feel special and accepted. It's the charming story of a little girl with a G-tube who tells us how her feeding tube helps her stay strong and healthy, why she is proud of her body and the way she can still do anything other kids can do. Written by the mother of a former Tubie with special needs and reviewed by a doctor, this book explains what a feeding tube is, how it works, and why its perfectly ok if your body works differently. The colorful illustrations include kids with G tube / J tube / GJ tube, and kids with NG tube / ND tube / NJ tube, as well as a child who uses a wheelchair. "Tubie Kids Like Me" is part of Fournier's "Kids Like Me" series which is all about helping children feel accepted, providing kid-friendly educational materials and spreading awareness."--Amazon
