"Katie Goes to the Hospital" would be a good book to read to a child who is about to go to the hospital, or to a child who had a family member in the hospital. This story can help children get an idea of what happens at a hospital, and to see that there is no reason to fear going to the doctor. At the end of the story, Katie gets to go home since she is well. That helps reassure children that hospital visits help make people well, and that they will soon be able to go home.
