My Generous Sister Lexi: A story on organ donation

"The most selfless gift" . . .

My Generous Sister Lexi, told from the perspective of Lexi's younger sister, Jordan, tells the story of one young child's journey through the process of losing a loved one. Written by two longtime Certified Child Life Specialists, the simple story line is relatable for children of all ages and all faiths who are learning to cope with tragedy in their personal lives.

The authors have felt the need for a book like this for so many years in their own work that they created one themselves! In their careers, Heather and Emily have helped many families understand and come to accept the value of organ donation. They hope their book will help families in need, especially children, who are struggling to understand and accept their new normal.
