Iris Gets A Gift

Just as Iris begins to feel really yucky, a new friend gives her a gift that makes her feel much, much better! This heartwarming story follows a little girl and her family as they learn about kidney disease and shows how anyone can positively impact another's life. With beautiful illustrations by illustrator MEimo Siwaporn, this book can help families facing similar challenges discuss complex issues in a way that kids will understand. Dr. Joe A. Cates, MD, board-certified and fellowship-trained vascular and general surgeon with Kansas City Vascular & General Surgery Group, describes the book as a source of support for families: "This book is a great tool that can help families reassure children living with kidney disease that they are not alone and that many other people face a similar journey every day."
