“The Courage Book” A Gift Book For The Children
By: Erin Balzrette
Courage knows no shape; knows no size,
Only the warmth of the heart it occupies.
Tiny little elfin treasures bring forth a strength,
Not known in measures.
The tear may fall, the voice may yell
But bravery shines through… as all can tell.
Keep this book. Fill it with words of praise.
In case as they grow their bravery fades.
Remind them of the faith once shown
By all whom this child has ever known.
Each gift, each word, each mark of love,
Shines strongly to help them rise above.
Turn the pages, read them through
Laugh and love, and keep hope close to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The Courage Book” is very special because it involves showing the children how much we
care about their feelings, and showing them how special they are to us. It will help form a
connection between patient and Doctor, and allow for communication possibilities that
otherwise may not happened. Keeping a child’s spirit, and self-confidence strong is a vital
part of their health care. Giving these books out to new patients as a welcoming gift, or
during the holiday season is a wonderful way to show how much they are appreciated. It
only takes a moment to record a message, to show how much you care about your child,
and yet it will last a lifetime in their memory.
• Section One - Sticker Collection Section. There is a place to save the sticker as well as
the date, and reason it was given.
• Section Two – Special Memories. Fill these pages with the funny things that happened, or
the silly things someone did, or said to make your day brighter!
• Section Three – Signature Scavenger Hunt & Think About It. Collect signatures of people
who are doing the tasks listed, or carrying supplies listed. The Think About It section has
brain teasers to help occupy wait time!
• Section Four – Special Notes- This part of your journal is for those who want to write
something special for you. A joke, a word of praise or encouragement, a reason they are
glad to know you, anything at all that when read, reminds you how special you are to those
around you.
• Section Five- New Friends. Write down the phone numbers and addresses of new friends
here!
• Section Six- Drawings. Blank paper to draw pictures, play games, or scribble on.
These gift books are 8.5 x 5.5 in size and loose leaf bound, with section dividers in the colors of
the rainbow!
