Orchestra For Oliver - Even the Shortest Lives are Special

Camille is delighted that she is going to be a big sister! But sad news from the doctor makes the family realize that they may not have much time with little Oliver after his birth. They decide to focus on spending well the time they do have, making intentional memories with him through trips and experiences tied to music. Colorful and moving illustrations by Estelle Corke communicate the ups and downs of the experience of Camille and her family.  

This sensitively told story about a family receiving a negative prenatal diagnosis is a gentle way to prepare older siblings of an unborn baby who may not survive long after birth. The back of the book has prayers and ideas for making memories during the life of the baby and in the event of the loss of the baby.
