I'm Still ME

Starting growth hormone therapy can feel like a big adventure-and a little scary, too.

I'm Still ME: My Growth Hormone Adventure is a full-color graphic novel and activity book created especially for children who are beginning growth hormone therapy. Join Dex, a fun-loving kid who's learning to navigate daily or weekly growth hormone injections, and his hilarious sidekick, Twig the chameleon, as they discover that being brave doesn't mean never being afraid-it means taking one step at a time.

Through colorful illustrations, engaging storytelling, humor, and interactive activities, children learn what growth hormone is, why they need it, what to expect during treatment, and how to build confidence along the way.

Inside, kids will discover:

• A fun, age-appropriate graphic novel that explains growth hormone therapy in language children can understand
• Dex and Twig's encouraging journey through the ups and downs of treatment
• Simple explanations of clinic visits, growth measurements, and injections
• Reassurance for common worries about being smaller than friends and taking growth hormone shots
• Interactive activity pages, games, and journaling prompts that help children express their feelings and celebrate milestones
• Helpful tips that make treatment feel less overwhelming and more empowering

Written by a pediatric nurse practitioner who has cared for countless children receiving growth hormone therapy, this unique book combines trusted medical information with warmth, encouragement, and a healthy dose of humor. Unlike most resources that are written for parents, I'm Still ME: My Growth Hormone Adventure speaks directly to children, helping them understand their treatment, process their emotions, and realize they are never alone.

Because growth hormone therapy may help you grow taller-but it will never change who you are.
