The Broken Arm

By Ms Laura Caiafa

THE BROKEN ARM - a funny and reassuring story about hospital visits, bravery and telling the truth.

This is the absolutely true story* of how I broke my arm.

(*mostly)

First there was a bear.
Then a fight over a pretzel.
Then... well... maybe the real story is a bit different.

Follow one child's wildly exaggerated explanation - and the real events behind it - from bedtime jump to ambulance ride, X-rays, doctors, anaesthetic, operation, itchy cast and scars, very big scars.

Told with humour and expressive illustrations, The Broken Arm helps children understand what actually happens in hospital while keeping the experience light, safe and even funny.

Perfect for: children worried about a hospital visitpreparing for surgery or X-rayskids who have broken a bonestarting conversations about fear and braveryfamilies who need a laugh after a stressful day
A comforting book for children, and a reassuring one for parents.

Because sometimes the scariest part isn't the injury - it's not knowing what comes next.

Written and illustrated by Laura Caiafa.
