Brief Description:
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Raise Your Hand comes an
important book about making your voice heard, especially when others refuse
to listen. After a harrowing experience at the hospital, Alice Paul
Tapper—daughter of CNN’s Jake Tapper—shares her story with the help of some
imaginary friends. When Alice wakes up with a terrible pain in her stomach,
she’s not sure what might be the cause. A doctor at the hospital asks her
to pick which face on a numbered pain chart best shows the suffering that
she’s experiencing. The problem is, she’s nervous and isn’t sure. That’s
when the faces turn into imaginary friends who help her speak up about what
she’s feeling. This fictionalized version of Alice’s real experience
chronicles her struggle to get the right diagnosis after suddenly being
struck with appendicitis. Caregivers and kids alike will benefit from
reading this meaningful book about advocating for yourself during a medical
emergency. With whimsical and comforting illustrations by Fanny Liem, the
gentle telling of this true story will resonate with anyone who has ever
struggled to be believed.
