My First Broken Bone

When a child gets hurt, it can feel scary and confusing—but it doesn’t have to be.

In My First Broken Bone, young readers follow Nate, an active 7-year-old boy who loves skateboarding, as he experiences his first wrist injury. From the moment he falls to visiting the doctor, getting an X-ray, wearing a cast, and finally healing, Nate learns what it means to be brave, patient, and strong.

This reassuring and relatable story gently introduces children to the process of injury and recovery in a way that feels safe, calm, and encouraging.

Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary readers, this book helps children understand what happens when they break a bone and shows them that healing takes time—and courage.

This children’s book helps kids:

• Understand broken bones and wrist injuries

• Feel less afraid of doctors, X-rays, and casts

• Build confidence during recovery

• Learn patience and resilience

• See that setbacks don’t stop them from moving forward

A comforting story for kids who love sports, play hard, and are learning how to bounce back from life’s little accidents.
