Sticky Icky Booger Bugs – written by Sherry Frith
A tale of a boy’s battle with cystic fibrosis as he attempts to avoid the hospital. Kory
is just like any other kids. He loves playing soccer, and exploring the neighborhood
with his best friends. With every puff, cough and sneeze Kory keeps the sticky icky
booger bugs away, so he can have fun every day! This thick mucus can cause Kory
lung infections and obstructs the pancreas.
Sherry decided to write this book after her sons, Kory and Kevin, were diagnosed with
cystic fibrosis. She wanted to help bring awareness and educate parents and children
about the condition through words and illustrations and help build compassion for
those diagnosed with it. This story lets children know that they are loved, no matter
what their medical condition.
This is a wonderful book that really helps explain especially through the illustration
all that Kory has to go through
