This fun, rhyming book is ideal for helping tube-fed children feel special and accepted.

This book is a perfect gift for a child with a feeding tube or for new parents of a tube-fed baby. It's ideal to share with friends, family or classmates to help others understand feeding tubes. Written by the mother of a former Tubie with special needs and reviewed by a doctor, this book explains what a feeding tube is, how it works, and why its perfectly ok if your body works differently. The colorful illustrations include kids with G tube / J tube / GJ tube, and kids with NG tube / ND tube / NJ tube, as well as a child who uses a wheelchair.
