🏥 About the Book
A severe lack of situational awareness leads to Harold accidentally releasing the brake on a hospital bed, sending it rolling out into the street and down a hill.
Harold Mitchell is nine years old, completely distracted, and not paying any attention to his surroundings. What starts as a boring hospital visit turns into an extreme, high-speed disaster when he leans on the wrong lever.
This is the story of what happens when you tune out the world around you, and the hilarious, fast-paced reality of learning to be mindful and present.
