Jeremiah the CHD Aware Bear and Friends: A Story for Children Touched by Congenital Heart Disease

By Phillip Wolf

In Hug-A-Beary Town, a new bear cub is born. But something seems different in the cub's health that draws the town closer to him and his family. Jeremiah is touched by a congenital heart defect (CHD). Dr. Toad helps to fix Jeremiah's broken heart so the cub can grow and strive to accomplish his goals in life. Heartbeat Hippo, Rare Rabbit and Cardiac Crane provide support and encouragement. Jeremiah's triumphant story is written and illustrated for children to better understand there is hope for CHDs, and they are not alone in the journey to defy odds. The story also brings awareness to parents unfamiliar of the existence of CHDs. Coloring pages follow Jeremiah's story. Silent Cries breaks through CHD awareness by producing books, event programs and films that help CHD communities spread the word and fund research for this disease that touches approximately 1 child in 100.
