Charleston, SC, Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Over the course of her accomplished career in pediatric nursing, Andrena Zeigler has encountered many a child who is overcome with emotion while visiting the doctor, and it has been an important part of her job to help alleviate children’s fears. In keeping with the spirit of encouragement that accompanies her role, Zeigler was inspired to pen a series of children’s books to provide positive affirmations for children who are reluctant to see a doctor. Her mission is to help children who are overwhelmed at the thought of going to the pediatrician to discover just how brave they really are.
In But I’m Not Sick and I’m Bigger and Braver, a young child is grappling with fear induced by a necessary trip to the pediatrician. Through this entertaining and engaging series, children will learn that a visit to see their healthcare provider does not have to be scary. Zeigler encourages parents to talk to their children about what to expect at a doctor’s visit, thus giving children some sense of preparedness. And by helping children acknowledge their anxiety, she empowers readers to conquer their emotions. Whether facing a physical exam or routine vaccinations, Zeigler’s stories feature colorful illustrations and demonstrate coping skills that will reverberate well beyond childhood.
