Silly Lily and Her Magical Port

In Silly Lily and Her Magical Port, young readers follow Lily’s journey as she learns to embrace her medical port.

Guided by two compassionate Child Life Specialists, Lily discovers that her port is more than a medical device—it’s a symbol of strength and a pathway to healing.

Through playful rhymes and heartfelt storytelling, this book brings comfort to children undergoing treatment and serves as a meaningful resource for families and care teams alike.

“Silly Lily has helped my daughter in so many ways. My little girl was born with a rare, incurable disease and has had 33 surgeries. At 7 years old, she often feels alone and different from other children. I’ll never forget how special she felt when her first Silly Lily book arrived in the mail. Savannah loves seeing her face shared on the Silly Lily page. Watching my daughter smile and feel included is something I can’t even put into words. I love what you all do for those living with chronic illness, it has such a lasting impact. Savannah always gets excited to see what book you’ll write next. Thank you, Silly Lily!”

A Quick Update

Care Package Applications Are Temporarily Paused

We are temporarily pausing care package applications so we can catch up on the nearly 5,000 requests we have already received!

As a one-person team, I personally review and prepare our care packages while also navigating my own journey with chronic illness. I work on them around medical appointments and whenever my health allows, so the process can take longer than I would like. Every package is put together with love and the hope of bringing a little happiness to someone going through a difficult time.

Please don’t be discouraged! We plan to reopen applications as soon as we have caught up. Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support. Please stay tuned for updates!

Coming December 14–16
