Book Week - Author Visit
I am very excited to announce that we will have Steph March visit our students next Monday to share and discuss her new book and the bigger initiative behind her work. Below is a blurb about the origins of her work. We have quickly snapped up a pre-ordered copy for our school library, and also some copies to gift to our friends at each of the 3 Hospital School campuses. I encourage all families to consider getting a copy for their own home bookshelves as the story is such an important one for our young people and their support networks to hear.

Message from Steph;
This book was born from lived experience, from nearly a decade of navigating the paediatric health system alongside my son, and from knowing firsthand how frightening, isolating and overwhelming that world can feel for a child and the people who love them.
What I noticed, again and again, was that the hardest part wasn't always the medical experience itself. It was often the silence or isolation around it. The not knowing what to say. The fear of saying the wrong thing. The uncertainty about how to help, what to do, or where to begin. Adults wanting desperately to help, and not having a way in.
The BB Crew exists to change that.
At its core, this book is about connection first, creating a quiet, gentle space where an adult and a child can simply be together. When that connection happens, children feel less alone. From that safety, the conversation - whatever that child needs to say - has room to begin.
Every child's experience is different. Every feeling and every child matters.
