This heartfelt and imagination-filled picture book helps families navigate the NICU journey from a sibling's perspective--offering comfort, connection, and a big dose of hope.
"Waiting for Max is the book that all parents should use when navigating their newborn's time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, especially when there are young siblings at home." --James Fritzell Jr., MD, Medical Director NICU and Chairman of Pediatrics, Saint John's Health Center
"A warmly illustrated, heartfelt resource that combines comfort with information. . ." --School Library Journal
Louise can't wait to meet her new little brother, Max! But he arrives earlier than expected and must stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) until he's strong enough to come home. Waiting is hard. Really hard. So Louise uses her BIG imagination to dream up creative plans to bring Max home.
Inspired by author Emily Rosen's own NICU experience, Waiting for Max gently validates the big emotions that come with welcoming a premature baby. With whimsical illustrations and an honest, child-centered voice, it's a reassuring story for big siblings, loving families, and anyone supporting NICU journeys.
Here's what makes Waiting for Max special:
- Sibling-Centered Storytelling: Offers comfort and age-appropriate perspective for young siblings navigating the NICU experience.
- Empathy Through Imagination: Shows how creative thinking and play can help kids process fear, sadness, and uncertainty.
- Gentle Guidance: Encourages meaningful conversations about medical situations and family changes.
- Authentic & Hopeful: Written and illustrated by NICU-connected creators, with a heartfelt author's note for added context.
A perfect gift for NICU siblings and family members, Waiting for Max reminds readers that love and patience can bridge any distance. At its heart is the message that no matter how long it takes, some things truly are worth the wait.
