Ben's Zipper: The Story of Ben's New Heart - Paperback

by Susan Meitner (Author), Laura Nagel (Author), Susan Meitner (Illustrator)

When Baby Ben's heart isn't working so well, his family learns that he will need a new one to keep his body strong and healthy. Join Ben as he visits Dr. Rhine Oh, takes a journey through the skies, and gets a zipper where the doctor tucks in a new heart.

After the death of her husband in a tragic bicycle accident, Susan had to leave her home of 34 years and move to an apartment in Madison. This helped make it easier for her 2 loving kids and their spouses to help take care of her daily needs. (The many chores and caretaking that her husband so lovingly did for her as a woman with pretty severe disabilities.)

Susan is finishing the last of 3 books in the Up in the sky series for her editor Linda and her husband Bobo, while learning to adjust to a new life. There is a treasured book about a wee dog in Ireland that is soon to be published, and more collaboration with her daughter in the works. Exciting times in the making! We hope in bringing a gentle nudge to children throughout the world in living a life that is full of kindness, understanding, and having unlimited dreams for the future no matter who they are.
