Candy Switch Witch is a heartwarming Halloween story created just for medically complex and NICU kids who are tube-fed and can’t enjoy traditional candy.
In this imaginative tale, children who trick-or-treat like everyone else discover a magical way to swap their candy for something even better- a special toy picked just for them.
With colorful illustrations and a joyful spirit, this story helps kids feel included in the fun while honoring their unique needs. It celebrates creativity, resilience, and the magic of making traditions work for every child. Whether a child has a G-tube, NG tube, or other feeding challenges, Candy Switch Witch shows them they’re not alone-and that their Halloween can still be full of excitement and surprises.
This book is a sweet reminder that the best treats aren’t always sugary – they’re the ones that make you feel seen, included, and loved.
