National Gift Of The Ladybug Day

All children with chronic illnesses are eligible for National Gift of the Ladybug Day on January 28th. The day also provides an opportunity to raise concerns of childhood illnesses and help the children and families with medical difficulties.

Carole Mac's book The Gift of the Ladybug follows the tale of a family of horses who discover their child is a ladybug and will not live long. The ladybug assures the horses by saying, "I am a ladybug!" says the ladybug. I don't know how to be a horse. I only know how to be a ladybug, but I only know how to be one. Hundreds of families receive a diagnosis every day that puts their children's lives in jeopardy. The ladybug is the ultimate symbol of a child facing a serious illness. The ladybug is the ultimate symbol of a child facing a critical illness. Her life may be short, but she's still perfect the way she is. The stunning ladybug captures our imaginations and gives us a reason to celebrate.

The 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 accept being exactly as you are.
