About the Book

This book contains colorful pictures for children of all ages to enjoy. Despite the targeted age, it will be captivating to everyone. It will aid in educating others about Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)"brittle bones".

My primary reason for writing this book is due to my grandson, who was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Type III). After searching far and wide for books to help educate him on his bone disorder, I was unable to find any books for children, especially those that would be comprehensible to a preschooler. It was then, that I decided to write a children's book to help other people become knowledgeable about this bone disorder.

It is my prayer that many lives will be enriched, as well as inspired, by reading this book.
