Book List

Transplant Families' Volunteers have compiled the following list of books to help you and your family through your transplant journey. These resources have been verified by other pediatric transplant caregivers but Transplant Families is not responsible for and does not specifically endorse the content of each of these books. We provide resources that may be applicable to many different transplant journeys. Please feel free to suggest edits as well as any additional resources that we may have missed by emailing us at: hello@transplantfamilies.org.
