Angie‘s Place offers a wide range of books that help children of all ages understand and cope with their hospital experience, reduce the trauma and stress of being in a hospital, and help them come to terms with their emotions. For example, children who may have difficulty expressing themselves might be able to find their feelings depicted in books, giving them a voice. Books can also simply give these young patients a pleasant diversion from the treatments they may
be receiving.
