New Children’s Book Geared toward Children in Need of Organ Transplants


July 1, 2012

On June 6, 2012 children’s author Jennifer Gladen’s third children’s book was released from Guardian Angel Publishing. The new book, Angel Donor, is a story about a child in need of a liver transplant and the day she gets “The Call”.  As taken from the cover: Olivia never asked to have a disease like Biliary Atresia. It made her liver sick and only a transplant will make her better. After waiting several months and close to losing hope, she gets the call she’s been waiting for. The journey of her life is about to begin. The book is complete with a glossary and a list of resources for dealing with transplantation.

When asked what made her write this book, Ms. Gladen said, “It was inspired by my daughter. When she went through her transplant and the long wait beforehand, I was looking for something to help her understand what was happening that spoke to her on her own level. It’s a book that needed to be written.”

In addition to Angel Donor, Jennifer Gladen has two other books out titled A Star in the Night and Teresa’s Shadow. She is also the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the online magazine My Light Magazine.

Welcome to Angel Donor 's Blog

When your child had any medical problem, it is hard. But it is even more tough when a serious disease occurs which results in the need of an organ transplant. Many families deal with this situation - more than I care to admit, including my own family. My daughter needed 2 liver transplants and my son is a kidney patient who may need a new kidney in the future. Which is why, in part, I wrote the picture book Angel Donor and created this blog. The goal is to of course raise awareness of organ donation, but also to provide support and validation to others going through the same things. May this blog and book be helpful to you. Feel free to leave comments about the book. I would love to share them with my readers to help let them know what the book is about and what other readers thought of it.
