Noah's Garden When Someone You Love Is in the Hospital

A hospital courtyard garden and a vivid imagination are a haven for a young boy as he waits for his baby sister to be well enough to join him. Noah really wishes he could see his new sister. Life has been anything but normal since baby Jessica was born with a serious medical condition, and Noah and his family are staying close by her at the children's hospital. Luckily, there's a garden outside for Noah to play in while he waits, and an elaborate wall mural that spurs him off into fanciful worlds. Young siblings or friends of an ill child will be reassured by this gentle picture book, an ode to the healing power of the natural world and a child's bountiful imagination.
