One Step at a Time and Life’s Toughest Moments were co-written by Jennifer Smith and Bradie Kvinsland, health care professionals who work with critically ill children and their families. Their first-hand knowledge of parent’s experiences led them to create this inspirational and informative journal. Jennifer, an intensive care nurse, and Bradie, a child life specialist, have a passion for helping patients and their families through their hospital experiences. Both are from the Pacific Northwest, and currently work in the Seattle area.
After years of working with children, the authors realized that parents need more information and support to handle their child's hospitalization. The result–two inspirational and informative books.
