Courage in Small Packages: Journey of Survival

By Steve Jf. Gibbs

When ten-year-old Penelope Vidal-Walsh went to bed feeling a little unwell, no one could have imagined that by morning, her life-and the lives of her family-would be forever changed.
In Courage in Small Packages: Journey of Survival, follow the true and deeply emotional story of a bright, lively girl whose battle with meningococcal disease led to the loss of both her legs and an arm. Told in simple and heartfelt language, this powerful account traces each step of Penelope's journey-from the first unexplained bruise to her long fight in intensive care, life-changing surgeries, and her remarkable road to recovery.
This book is more than a medical story. It's a message of love, strength, and the unshakable bond between a child and her family. It honors the bravery of a girl determined to live a full life, the dedication of hospital heroes, and the importance of recognizing symptoms early.

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, healthcare worker, or simply someone in need of hope, Penelope's story will inspire you to believe in resilience-even in the smallest of packages.
