Kolîna la spital

Kolina slips on a toy while playing at home. She falls down the stairs and may have broken her arm. At the hospital, she feels scared at first. Kind doctors help her face the visit with less fear.

Nadia Berkane wrote this story for children below school age. It shows what can happen when an injury needs care. It looks at courage, family, and how we share others' feelings. It also looks at fears that can follow an accident. Parents and teachers can use it to talk about feelings. They can also discuss safety when getting care from doctors.

The book forms part of the Kolina series. These books look at events in a young child's life. They include starting preschool and going to the doctor. This edition has colour pictures. Daniel Voicea translated it from French.
