The abilities in me: Congenital heart defect

I'm due with my little heart warrior in 2 weeks and decided to buy this book. I cried as soon as I started reading it. It's so sweet. It also has a few blank white pages in it as well as a page at the end with a very simple heart picture with no words. I feel like this was intentional for Drs, nurses, and visitors to sign the book if that's what you choose to do with it, which is what I will be doing. 100% recommend this book for anyone who knows a HW

Such a cute book! My daughter loves it! She was so excited to see someone “like her” In a book! Thank you so much for this!

My daughter loves this book. She even brought it to school to read to her class.

This is adorable!! A must for any heart warrior!!

I bought this book because I have a toddler with a CHD. The book depicts what many CHD warriors go through and is told in a voice that would appeal to kids. I think it's a great book for everyone!

My daughter loves the book. I did a few lines to it because she doesn’t use a wheelchair but needs rest sometimes but over all it’s a great book

Great book! It really provides a great simple explanation for the child and some that could be used in future when school to tell kids about our little one.

Have a heart baby who is 7. Great book

Very cute to read to our CHD kid. Thanks!

Cute book about a child that has CHD but that doesn’t stop her from having fun with her friends and family. My 4 month old has a heart defect and already had surgery so I love that the little girl in this book has a scar just like my daughter.

Cute book, but inexpect more than a few pages with like 2 sentences each for the price. But i bought it because there arent many like it.

My CHD kiddo loves it

Love the idea of normalizing differences! Gemma is an amazing person!

Our family loves this book! Prefect for our family with two heart warriors!

Perfecto

Excellent resource and beautifully illustrated and written. We ordered extra for friends.

Another beautifully written and illustrated book in the abilities in me book series. I sat and read it with my daughter multiple times today when it arrived and she enjoyed it and was interested to understand what CHD is. These books are brilliant because it’s teaching children as young as 3 nearly 4 (age of my daughter) about different conditions and gives her a basic understanding to what it means and that those children do things she herself would do, like go to the beach! She also noticed the character from the 22q book in this book as one of the children playing, which I love because it shows they are a series. Can’t wait for the autism one to come out, and to build on our collection of these books.

my son is 4 and was so excited to see a character in a book just like him, we regularly read and he really enjoyed this book and after reading it wanted to go back through it again looking at the illustration and talking about the pictures relating it to care he’s had and as we have a heart scan coming up very soon I think this book will really help him prepare for it! Amazing idea well done to Gemma and Adam!

This book is amazing my little boy was pointing to the girl and say she has a special like me, beautifully written and illustrated, we shall be taking the book to nursery to show them what Colbys special is really like, also would LOVE to get one for all schools and nurseries in my area so everyone gets an understanding on what CHD is really like, thank you once again xx

My son loves this book series reading about characters just like him! Gemma is doing a fantastic thing for our children

I had the most amazing time reading this to my children! It is one our favourite books because it is so feel-good!! 🥰 most people just think that if a child is born with a heart condition, that life is just all about limits, restrictions, and boundaries.. but this book proves that you can still LIVE with CHD and love it too! I’m obsessed with this series!!! I can’t wait for more 😃❤️

This book is perfect, I cried reading it the first time to my daughter. So relatable to our little heart warriors. She's even taken it in preschool to show her friends. The new Christmas one is on pre order tooo 😊

A lovely bright book written and illustrated beautifully, read my son after his recent surgery, he loved the fact it was all in a book and that he is not alone, it encourages other children to be kind and have some better understanding of these conditions or of their own condition. I love the whole series there gonna help so many schools hospitals and children!

My son has CHD and I would highly recommend this book to anyone whose child is starting to ask questions about their condition or to friends/family so they can understand the condition a bit more.

Another great book in the series, so easy for young children to understand, my son will be taking his to school to show hid teachers and friends about his poorly heart. Can't wait for the next book x

Absolutely love this book. Amazing quality, very bright and colourful, beautifully illustrated and definitely recommended to help children with understanding different abilities and for my hcikdren this really heloed them. Learn about this. Its really helped my children be more understanding and aware and im so greatful i found this book. This author has captured the child and abilities so well and without this book my chikdren and myself wouldnt of known about this. Xx

Very sweet book. I bought this for my little girl. This book should be available in all schools it’s brilliant

Love this book, my daughter has a CHD and this is the perfect book for her. Well done :)

I bought this book so my son can eventually take it into school for his class teacher to read to his friends. This will hopefully give them an invite to his daily struggles.

Amazing book! Lovely to read and my little girl loves it, she keeps saying it’s my heart! 🥰
