Your Little Sleep

Your Little Sleep is a colourful, illustrated storybook for children and their parents to help explain the process involved in coming into hospital for an operation or scan that requires general anaesthesia. Written and illustrated by Dr Ann-Marie Crowe, a paediatric anaesthesiologist (one of the sleepy doctors) working in Ireland, this book aims to enhance a child's preparation for an upcoming hospital visit, and is a useful tool for parents to use at home to talk to their child about how the day will unfold. Through warm, narrative text and beautiful illustrations, Your Little Sleep will introduce your child to some of the people they will encounter during their time in hospital and outlines in accurate, child-friendly detail what will happen on the day of their hospital visit.
