When Bryn's Ear Went QuietWhen Bryn's Ear Went Quiet

"When Bryn was four, she could hear birds chirping in the tall trees outside her house. But by the time she's seven, she can only hear those chirps in her left ear. Her right ear has gone silent. A hearing aid helps, but it isn't always perfect. So, when Bryn learns there's a surgery called a cochlear implant that would improve her hearing, she jumps at the opportunity. Surgery can be scary, but her parents, doctors, and nurses help ease her anxieties. And with the help of her lucky rainbow elastic, hugs from her parents, and her own excitement, Bryn's bravery shines through her fears. She can't wait to hear the birds chirping and her mother singing in her right ear again. This detailed and evocative story gently captures a child's experience of going to the hospital to have cochlear implant surgery, and all the emotions that go along with it"--
