National Gift Of The Ladybug Day
On January 28th, the National Gift of the Ladybug Day honors all children with chronic illnesses. The day is also a chance to raise concerns of childhood illnesses and help the children and families of medical differences.
Carole Mac's book The Gift of the Ladybug follows a family of horses who discover their child is a ladybug and will not live long. "I am a ladybug!" the horse is assured by the ladybug who says, "I am a ladybug!" I don't know how to be a horse. I don't know how to be a horse. I only know how to be a ladybug." Hundreds of families every day receive a diagnosis that puts their child's life in jeopardy. The ladybug is the equivocal representation of a child facing a serious illness. She may be short, but she is just the way she is. The beautiful ladybug captures our imaginations and gives us a reason to celebrate.
National Gift of the Ladybug Day is the first of a movement that encourages parents to love their children exactly as they are. Join the movement and embrace being exactly as you are.
