Ethan & Choco's Book Club

Striving to make access to books and reading a core part of the care that kids receive in the hospital, with the premise that literacy support for children fighting cancer and other life-altering conditions can help promote cognitive health and social connections that are part of thriving through treatment and beyond

Thank you Baum Squad!

THANK YOU to Baum Orthodontics in Tustin for the 117 new books! These will all be part of our delivery this Friday of approximately 500 books to CHOC’s Outpatient Infusion Center and the Oncology Clinic, where patients get to pick out a new book at every visit.

We are so grateful for our ongoing 5-years long partnership with Baum Ortho! And we so appreciate Dr. Baum’s ingenious retainer replacement program, where patients who have lost their retainer receive a greatly discounted price for their new retainer if they donate some new children’s books. We’ve now received thousands of books from Baum families….apparently kids are losing a ton of retainers!

Thank you Baum Ortho (and Baum Ortho families) for your incredible continued support!

A HUGE thank you to Baum Ortho for this amazing donation of 160 new books! Baum families who donated, you did a terrific job at picking out highly popular titles and so much variety — we received books in every book type category! We are so very grateful for ECBC’s ongoing partnership with Baum Ortho. It makes a big difference for us to have these awesome books coming in regularly, which go right to oncology and other patients at CHOC Children’s Hospital!
