The BookViral Review:
For the vast majority of us, NICU is an acronym we will never have to explore yet Neo-Natal Intensive Care Units around the world are the epicentres of many truly amazing and occasionally tragic stories.
Beginning with the infancy of NICU in the early eighties and her first dramatic intubation at Lancaster General NICU to pre-natal ultrasounds Dr Manjeet Kaur shares with us the development of Neo-Natal Intensive Care and the many challenges faced along the way. From needing to administer oxygen when no respiratory masks were available and oxygen tubing had to be stuck in a paper cup with the cup then placed over the infant’s nose and mouth to situations that first seemed beyond hope, all neonatologists have their own special stories yet few are so beautifully and articulately presented.
Peppered with powerful and poignant poems penned by Kaur and pictures which span her time as a neonatologist this is not only a book of hope and enlightenment but a testament to the amazing contribution of neonatologists the world over. Their dedication, faith and the continually developing technology they have come to employ. And yet the most powerful aspect of Kaur’s book is her tiny miracles whose stories are told through the eyes of their parents.
From Amanda Miller to Katie, Lindsay, and Tiffany Doughty who add their own reflections we are reminded how daunting NICU’s are but through the sharing of their stories parents of babies needing the specialist intensive care they provide can feel empowered, informed and confident their premature babies are in the very best of hands.
With the rising popularity of personal memoirs, it is often hard to sort the wheat from the chaff but My Garden of Flowers – Miracles in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit proves an absolute must-read and is recommended without reservation.
Provocative, often deeply unsettling, it’s underpinned by a weighty and deeply thought-provoking plot with Speiser’s narrative wide-ranging and restlessly probing as he introduces his readers to an eclectic cast of superbly imagined characters.
Joining his other titles, ‘The Nicknocker’, penned by author and illustrator Tracy Sabin, is another engrossing tale of magical adventure. Written in a believable ‘boy-like’ fashion, The Nicknocker takes its young readers on a fantasy journey, where they meet other-worldly creatures, such as Kahlo, a shapeshifting Nicknocker, Tumblewort, the grumpy old oak, and Redcap, the bloodsucking dissident of the Elven world.
An eye-opening look at creation versus evolution, ‘From Goo to God’ tracks many of the blindly accepted evolutionary theories, picking each apart to examine whether they deserve the widely established promotion throughout the whole educational experience of young people.
There are a number of essential techniques an author must master if they ever want to top a bestsellers list and none more so than the ability to deliver genuine suspense.
As inconceivable as it seems, the ‘man’, Jeff Bezos himself, has predicted the demise of Amazon. “Amazon is not too big to fail … In fact, I predict one day Amazon will fail,”
At their best, they stun you with their visions of ultimate endings both small and catastrophic with hauntingly bleak futures.
Fables can widen our appreciation of other cultures, help us understand traditions, and teach us new ways of appreciating the world and the diversity of life, reducing discrimination, and promoting acceptance.
