Justin Misuraca, a dedicated respiratory therapist at the Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado, has brought his family’s story to life in a heartwarming children’s book, Lizzy’s Big Trip. The book not only showcases vibrant illustrations but also tells a meaningful story based on Justin’s journey of love and family.
Lizzy’s Big Trip tells the story of a mouse named Liz and a turkey named Justin, representing Justin and his wife, Elizabeth Diaz-Misuraca. The book is a tribute to their relationship and was written as a gift for their daughter, Sophia. In the story, Liz, a soft-spoken mouse who takes care of sick mice, dreams of moving to the mountains. After making the move, she meets a turkey named Justin, and the two form an unlikely friendship while spending a snowy day together. The tale celebrates the beauty of friendship, family, and love.
Justin and Elizabeth are not only authors but also true advocates for children. Justin, who serves as part of the Children’s Hospital flight team, and Elizabeth, an ICU nurse, are both deeply committed to helping children in need. Their dedication is even more personal after the loss of their son Joseph, who was born prematurely at 23 weeks. Their daughter Sophia, now almost two years old, continues to inspire them in their work.
In addition to sharing a heartfelt story, Lizzy’s Big Trip also contributes to a great cause. For every copy of the book sold, one dollar is donated to the Children’s Hospital, helping children and families in need.
We encourage you to support this beautiful family and their mission by purchasing Lizzy’s Big Trip. Not only will you be sharing a delightful story with your children, but you’ll also be contributing to a cause that makes a real difference in the lives of many children.
