Each Canta Canta book is handmade and thoughtfully designed to reflect both the emotional and developmental needs of pediatric patients. 

 

The books include:

1) Creative prompts, coloring pages, poetry, and short stories

2) Interactive games, puzzles, and uplifting messages written by Vanderbilt students

3) Multilingual content, when possible, to reflect the cultural backgrounds of patients

 

Books will be evaluated by a psychiatrist or psychologist, along with a specialist in children’s writing, to ensure age-appropriateness, gauge long-term emotional impact, and provide feedback for tailoring the book to best fit the needs of our target community.
