Why?

Children deserve special care.

The Awesome Ollie Teddy Bear & Children's Book give encouragement and comfort to children with ostomies.  Ollie has a stoma and removable pouch,just like them!  His book tells his story from surgery to recovery and returning home.   

"Ollie the bear can run, jump and swing.

Why, this fuzzy bear can do anything!

His tummy is happy and doesn't say "ouch"!  All thanks to his ostomy button and pouch."
