Overview
Liam is a little boy who lives with his mom, nanny, and grandpa in a small house on a small street in a small town. He has cystic fibrosis, but he does not let that hold him back because he is as strong as a tree! But one day, Liam's doctor tells him that he needs to go to the hospital to get some special medicine that he has to be given with a needle. Liam is very worried (hospitals and needles are two of the things that children dislike most, after all). He does not feel strong as a tree. Join Liam and his mom as they go to the hospital and discover that it's not as scary as it seems!

Author Information
"Liam Wilson is eight years old; this is his second co-authored children's book. Liam is an inspiration to so many people, and he loves giving back to his community. As many of you know he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was only three weeks old. He has been raising funds and awareness his whole life. He loves hockey and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He always has a smile on his face; nothing gets him down. Myrna Jewell, the author of Army Underground and Phyllis-Invisible Child, is an avid social historian who writes about everyday people in extraordinary circumstances. Born in Canada, she spent her formative years on the family farm. In her teens, she moved to England, where her teacher inspired her to write, but she was encouraged to find a ""real"" job when she graduated. She received an HNC in Media Writing, which ignited her passion. Ten years ago, she returned to Canada to pursue a career in writing, broadcasting, history, and art. There she lives with her family and a herd of rescue cats. Leesa Ervin was born in Ontario, Canada. She is known for her artsy flair, being very creative, and her one-of-a-kind laugh. She has skated and taught skating for over 30 years. Once she won a blue banana bike (the coolest bike ever) by winning a Campbell's soup colouring contest. She drew and painted ice surfaces for many years for skating carnivals with her dad. Growing up, some of her artwork made it to art exhibits, claiming many awards. She is the proud owner of I Can Make That Too, her business where she sells homemade crafts. If you can't find her, just look in the craft room, she will be there creating something!"
