New! Children’s Book: Sydney’s Kidney Adventure
Award-winning (Literary Titan) author, Risa Simon, created this uplifting tale and unforgettable “kidney treasure hunt” for a living kidney donor that touches hearts, instills hope, and attracts a world of human kindness.
This captivating children’s book is not just a story, it’s a life lesson in the incredible power of family love and support in pursuit of human kindness. The book has also been described as a “A children’s book that naturally inspires adult readers to explore living donation for themselves or someone in need.“
It all begins when Sydney, a precious little 7-year-old girl, finds herself called to a higher purpose after she learns of her mother’s battle with kidney disease and need for a kidney transplant. Once she discovers that neither she nor her father can donate one of their kidneys, (and how long her mother would have to wait for a kidney from a deceased organ donor), Sydney makes a big wish to find a new kidney for her mother all on her own.
This book was written to offer parents a way to ease into conversations about a loved one’s struggle with kidney disease, their need for a transplant, and search for a living kidney donor. It was also written to inspire waitlisted kidney patients and family members to team up and spread the word.
