Hi. I saw a few children's books on a UK Erb's palsy website named Herbie and his special arm and Herbie has an operation and was wondering if anyone knows of any similar children's books for sale in the U.S? Thanks in advance:-)

Re: Any children 's book recomendations?
I've been looking as well. As kind of an explanation for my son when he gets older to understand my injury a little.
Matter of fact I've kinda played with some book ideas myself, but haven't been satisfied.
The closest I've found to my story is Finding Nemo, but honestly in book form it loses it's little fin part of the story quite a bit.
Sorry I couldn't help. If you here of anything let me know I'd also love a book like this.

Not specific to BPI, but in general an awareness and acceptance of being "different" kind of book is called Different Just Like Me. Great book!

Can you not order them from the UK site?
