Katerina’s Visit to the Hospital

The following sample illustrations in Katerina’s Visit to the Hospital use warm, engaging imagery to make the medical environment approachable for young readers. Created for a bilingual English–Spanish children’s book, the artwork reflects diversity in medicine and visually supports the goal of restoring patient autonomy and health literacy from an early age. Each scene introduces hospital spaces, staff, and procedures in a way that fosters trust, reduces anxiety, and encourages children to feel confident in their own care experiences.
