My friend, Anat, has written a book in which she shares the story of how one family learns about a different way of nourishing onself so as to remain strong and healthy.
Grandma’s Special Button (El Botón especial de mi Abuelita) is a story that teaches children, families, and friends about tube feeding for adults. Written in both English and Spanish, it follows the true story of a grandmother, her young grandson, and their entire family as they adjust to a new life with grandma’s feeding tube. It is a tender story of curiosity, courage and, ultimately, love of life. Colorful illustrations show grandma’s two belly buttons and a G-Tube. The story does not discuss cancer or other indications for a G-Tube. It offers awareness for those interested in learning about disabilities, and is perfect for families who would like to learn more about adults who use a feeding tube for their own health and wellness.
Grandma’s Special Button (El Botón especial de mi Abuelita) is available on Amazon. A portion of the profits is donated to aid adults with feeding tubes and their families.
