Preemies: Anastasia's Gift

Preemies * Anastasia’s Gift offers a different perspective of life for a preemie and his/her family in the NICU. It addresses the emotional aspect of a very difficult time in any parent’s life like no other book in this field has before. It is as heart-warming as it is informative.

Preemies began as one mother’s gift to parents of premature infants. Patti’s dream was to introduce this new, unfamiliar world with soothing words and soft photographs. Through her personal experience, she hopes to touch people with wisdom and support. Preemies was written with love and founded in this simple truth: ‘The world asks of us only the strength we have. And we give it.’
