I Have an NGT... And Guess What?

I Have an NGT… And Guess What? is a gentle, reassuring picture book created to help children feel confident, brave, and proud of who they are.

Meet Theo — a bright, adventurous child who has a nasogastric tube that helps him grow. With the support of his friendly companion Nozza, Theo shows readers that having medical equipment doesn’t stop him from running, playing, learning, laughing, or dreaming big.

Through warm, rhyming text and comforting illustrations, this story helps children understand that an NGT is just one small part of them — it does not define them.

Written by children’s nurse Annie Dot, this book is designed to support children and families navigating feeding tubes, hospital stays, or medical care, while celebrating courage, kindness, and self-belief.

✨ Perfect for:

• Children with nasogastric or feeding tubes

• Families, carers, and siblings

• Hospitals, schools, and healthcare settings

• Supporting conversations about medical needs in a positive way

Because every child deserves to know:You are brave. You are capable. And you can do anything.
