....The day after Maisie's 3rd Birthday, 28-11-2012, a parcel came with the postman. I had no clue what it was and Maisie assumed it was another Birthday present for her! So we sat together and opened it to see what was inside. It was our copy of Hope the Hip Hippo!...
....Hope the Hip Hippo is a story book for a child to read with their parents about the journey of having DDH, things that will happen and shows you with the help of Hope how things may change for a short while. It has fantastic explanation from the child's point of view!....
....Maisie loves her new book, she knows it is a book that MUST be kept safe and well looked after, because it's important. We have to thank Gina and Julie on writing this book for ours and anyone else's children who are affected by DDH. It adds an additional speciality that the book has a dedication section and little Maisie Moo or Maisie-Bug (as Gina calls her)'s name is amongst them! =)....
....This book is available to buy direct from the publisher or from Amazon. There is a Hope the Hip Hippo picture, clicking this link will take you direct to where to buy from Amazon. Money goes to the International Hip Dysplasia Institute to assist with research to try and find a better way of treating DDH than the way they have been doing for years and years...
