Tiger Livy

Children need strength and bravery to deal with the diagnosis of a chronic illness. "Tiger Livy" inspires and educates all who read her story. Livy is a vibrant, clever little girl who usually loves to play and pounce like a tiger. That is until one day when she unexpectedly gets very sick.

Now Livy isn't able to play the same, she doesn't feel like herself, and some of her friends treat her differently.

Finding inspiration from her favorite feline, Livy transforms her mindset and takes on the monumental task of mentally and emotionally healing from chronic illness.

Tiger Livy" is the story of a brave six-year-old who inspires empathy, patience, and grit in young readers.

Hear Livy roar today!
