N2  - Laura experiences conflicting emotions when her brother becomes seriously ill. "What about me?" is what she repeatedly feels when her parents become monopolised by her brother's hospitalisation (the illness is never made clear).  Laura also feels resentment, loneliness, invisible, fear and guilt. The text is accompanied by detailed, evocative black and white illustrations which elaborate on the words. This book is aimed at the well children in a family and their loved ones, and is intended to help begin difficult discussions for children in these situations. It includes suggestions for parents to help their healthy children cope with a chronically ill sibling. Black and white picturebook with text. Audience: Child 4 - 8, Adult caregiver
