Editorial Review:

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:

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.

Gave us Strength:

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... more info

Wonderful book to share with your preemie child!:

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.

Poorly Done:

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.
