Jack's New Smile: Having a baby with cleft lip and palate - Paperback

by Suzanne N. West (Author), Jennifer L. Rhodes (Author), Brooke Nunez (Illustrator)

Jack's New Smile was written for brothers and sisters of a new baby with cleft lip/palate. Baby Jack's experience with cleft lip and palate is recounted through the eyes of his loving older sister. The book is also intended for children born with a cleft to help them learn about themselves. It is meant to provide some answers to questions children may not know how to ask. We hope that by reading this story, your child will know that having a cleft is not scary or bad. The book can also be used as a starting point for a more detailed talk with older children. Also available in SPANISH under the title LA NUEVA SONRISA DE JACK.
