your Stories, feedback & connection
A collection of reflections, feedback and shared experiences from families, educators, healthcare professionals and communities engaging with The BB Crew.
What parents are saying
“What stands out most is the book’s careful attention to representation. It thoughtfully includes a diverse range of health experiences, family dynamics, and cultural considerations, allowing more children to see themselves reflected within the story. Through Bill’s journey and the BB crew, the story creates opportunities for children to explore and communicate emotions in a way that feels safe, approachable, and age-appropriate. The focus on feelings and emotional expression is particularly valuable, as hospital experiences can be equally confronting for parents and carers who are trying to support their child while managing their own stress and uncertainty. Highly recommended for families, healthcare settings, schools, and waiting rooms. As my eight-year-old simply put it: “The BB crew are cute!”
— Kirsty Whitehead, SA
What educators are saying
“As a teacher, I can see this book being used to support conversations about emotions, empathy and healthcare experiences. The messages are simple, meaningful and highly relevant for today’s children.”
— Sarah, Middle School Health & PE Teacher

"By demystifying the hospital environment, Bill’s Hospital Adventure serves as a vital tool for children's emotional safety. It provides a structured and compassionate framework for children to process medical anxiety, ensuring they feel secure throughout their healthcare journey."
— Dr Mohammed Usman, Paediatric Psychiatrist
“A warm, supportive and developmentally appropriate story that helps children feel safe, seen and empowered during hospital experiences.”
— Dianna Smith-McCue, Director of Consumer and Community Engagement
