Having an operation can feel a little uncertain for children - new surroundings, big words, and not knowing what to expect can all feel overwhelming. As parents, we want to ease their worries, help them feel prepared, and support their emotional well-being, but finding the right words to explain everything in a way that feels safe and manageable can be tricky. That’s where Pippa the Powerful Mermaid & Moby the Mighty Mer-Boy come in!

Through a reassuring under-the-sea adventure, Pippa and Moby help children understand what to expect, feel less anxious, and build their bravery before the big day.
