A child’s guide to MRI day

Jackson’s repeated MRI visits give the book a child’s-eye framework for explaining an intimidating medical procedure. Alongside his experience with the scanner’s noise and the feelings it can bring up, the book offers practical coping suggestions, answers common questions, and includes guidance for parents. Journaling pages invite young patients to record their own experiences, making the subject both informative and personally adaptable. The focus stays on navigating MRI appointments and the concerns surrounding them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children preparing for or undergoing MRI scans
  • Parents seeking child-focused MRI information and practical suggestions
  • Young readers who benefit from journaling about medical experiences

Book overview

Jackson looks like any other kid. But he has a "jelly bean" in his brain and that means getting lots of MRIs. In The Donut That Roared, Jackson helps young readers cope with the anxiety, fear (and noise!) that comes with a visit to that noisy donut-shaped machine. He shares his tips for making MRI day a breeze (like wearing his favorite taco socks!) and includes FAQs and tips for parents too. He even includes journaling pages so young patients can chronicle their own MRI adventure.
