Product Description
When a healthy baby is born, everyone is quick to share in the celebration. When something goes wrong however, it can be hard to find words. 'The Tiniest Warrior of All' charts the epic battle of a premature baby sent on a quest to find her true home. When her time-machine crashes, she is cared for by a cast of wizards, sorcerers and bodyguards, all of whom help her to fulfil her destiny. This beautiful picture book is intended for the families of premature babies. It explains the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment in an honest yet gentle way. In the world of the Tiny Warrior, babies who sustain injuries during their battle are honoured as champions. The children who don't win their struggles are also commemorated for their bravery, thus providing a tool to help deal with bereavement

 Not For Everyone... Even New Agers August 13, 2008

As someone who loves fantasy and most things "New Age", I also had high hopes for this book. I've been there with a 2lb preemie, NICU for 3 months, and oxygen, monitors, specialists at home. I like talking to my daughter and answering her questions about being a preemie, but I didn't enjoy this book. I found it difficult to read seriously out loud and as if I was tricked into doing so... like I was on "Candid Camera".
Being in the Early Childhood field as well, not only do I believe creativity and pretending are invaluable, but also that children are never too young to learn proper terms and enriching vocabulary. My daughter is only 3 and she wants to know what it's called, how you spell it, and why is that its name?? She looked dazed and confused after reading this book.
I recommend All I See Is Part of Me and On the Day You Were Born even though they are not about preemies.

Our precious baby boy had to be delivered 3 months early to save my life and I experienced a horrible amount of guilt in addition to all the other feelings you have when you have a premie. This book, given to us by my father, was heaven sent. I read it to Christopher everyday during our visits with him at the hospital, it gave me hope and peace during a difficult time. We called Christopher our "Tiniest Warrior" from that time on and watched as he grew strong. This book is not just for children, it's a ray of sunshine in the life of any parent dealing with the emotions of having a premie.
Wonderful book to share with your preemie child! February 10, 2007

This book is great! It is a very difficult experience having a premature baby and having to explain all of the baby pictures with medical equipment can be a challenge. Thank you for such a wonderful book.

I had high hopes for this book, but the illustrations are amateurish and the text needs editing. This book goes way above the heads of most kids, describing the NICU doctors as wizards and such; parents really will have to sit down and explain the story afterwards. I give the author two stars for creativity, but this isn't a book I'm encouraged to share with children.
 great art - good story January 10, 2007

Story line of a NICU baby told in a fairy tale setting.
Would have been better if the book was available in hard back as would like this to be a permanent book in our family library. As a paperback book the paper quality is good and the art work fabulous. Story is good for parents to read to their little NICU survivor babies as they grow up.
