Surgery can be a scary experience for anyone but it can be especially scary to children. My Surgery Journal was written for children who are about to have an operation. The journal creates an outlet for children to express their thoughts and fears in a constructive manner. The Ouch Patrol is a colorful group of kids who will help the child to communicate their feelings to their doctors and nurses. My Surgery Journal will become a keepsake and a way for the child to remember their experience in a positive way.
