‘Grayson’s Story: A NICU Pandemic Blessing’
By Charnay Parks
$29.99
In 2020, the global pandemic took a toll on everyone, leaving many parents feeling alone with the struggles of sick children. Author and mother Charnay Parks of Turtle Creek wrote a children’s book based on true events involving having her newborn hospitalized at Children’s Hospital during the lockdown.
Charnay sought to create rhythm and ease within the words of her story to add elements both parents and their children could enjoy. The fun story aimed to support parents who suffered from isolation restrictions and highlighted a relatable experience Charnay had with her son.
The press release called the book a “beautifully illustrated, inspirational story” that “demonstrates the power of remaining optimistic, having faith, and being in good spirits despite uncertainty.”
