Beschrijving
ICU Grandma is an adult picture book that tells a difficult story in the simple voice of a child. Following a grandmother through a long ICU stay, it captures the machines, transfers, false hope, decline, and grief that can come with prolonged critical illness. Using the visual language of a playful picture book to tell an unsettling adult story, ICU Grandma explores the emotional weight of modern hospital care when recovery is no longer truly possible. This is not a children’s book. It is a sad, uncomfortable, and painfully familiar story for readers who have lived through serious illness at the bedside-or cared for patients there themselves.
