The story follows Jade, a bright young girl born with a quiet, unmoving arm. Through therapy and her family’s support, she discovers that healing doesn’t always mean returning to what was, but instead growing stronger through adaptation and celebrating small victories.
Adedeji created the book after her own family’s journey with BPBI, hoping to provide other families and caregivers with a compassionate resource. The book blends gentle verse and 3D illustrations to introduce children to the concepts of difference, therapy, resilience, and quiet courage, all without fear or stigma.
“Jade’s Brave Wing is for every child who begins life with a difference,” Adedeji explains in the author’s note. “It’s for parents navigating unexpected diagnoses and for caregivers learning that healing looks like adaptation, courage, and growth — not always perfection.”
The book also provides an accessible tool for pediatric therapists and educators to introduce complex medical topics in a compassionate and age-appropriate manner. Its rhymed structure supports early literacy, while the imagery of wings offers a universal metaphor for progress and self-acceptance.
Available Now
Jade’s Brave Wing is available in eBook and paperback formats globally via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many more book retailers worldwide.
