As some of you know, I penned a short children’s story in 2020 for my Grandson Hendrix, who was a micro-preemie baby born about 100 days early. (see my earlier blog about it in the archives at left).
The story celebrates his success in overcoming a very rough start to life, but also means to highlight the exceptional skill, professionalism, and commitment by the BC Women’s Hospital NICU staff in helping Hendrix on his journey.
The story was submitted to the process of having the book included into the North Vancouver City, the North Vancouver District, and West Vancouver Memorial Public Libraries through a program that supports locally created literary content. (I grew up in West Vancouver).
The submission was successful, and this fall (2023) the book is available to be checked out at the Libraries mentioned.
Huge props to my sister, Carolynn Elliot, who illustrated the story!
