Kids Surgery Guide & Bravery Kit Bundle: Child Life Specialist Book

The perfect gift for a brave kid with a procedure coming up. 💛

This bundle includes a physical copy of Let's Talk Surgery: A Kid's Guide, written and designed by me, Diane Morales, a certified child life specialist with a master's degree, paired with a Bravery Kit to celebrate your child on the other side of surgery.
It's everything you need to prepare your child before and celebrate them after.

What's included:

📖 Let's Talk Surgery: A Kid's Guide (physical copy)
A kid-friendly workbook that walks children through what surgery is, what will happen, and how to feel about it, in honest, warm, age-appropriate language. Designed to be read together before the procedure.

🥇 Bravery Kit:

Certificate of Bravery
Gold medal with ribbon
4 celebration stickers
"Open After Your Surgery" envelope

How to use this bundle:

Read the book together in the days leading up to surgery. Then seal up the bravery kit envelope and tell your child it's their surprise for being brave. Let them carry that excitement with them into the hospital. After surgery, open it together, put on the medal, read the certificate out loud. Make it a moment. They earned it.

Why preparation + celebration matters:

In child life practice, we know that children who are prepared for procedures do better — less anxiety, more cooperation, faster recovery. And children who are celebrated afterward build resilience and pride that carries into future medical experiences. This bundle does both.


Perfect for:

Children ages 3–10 preparing for surgery or a procedure
Parents who want to prepare AND celebrate their child
A meaningful get-well or pre-surgery gift
Pediatric nurses, child life specialists, or therapists
Hospital gift shops and pediatric clinics
