Writer Miguel Ángel Jiménez Donates Several Copies of His Latest Children's Book to the Pediatrics Department at Costa del Sol Hospital

The writer Miguel Ángel Jiménez Santana, a technical engineer in Computer Science and also a health professional on leave from the Costa del Sol University Hospital with a strong connection to the center for over 23 years, has donated several copies of his latest story 'The Boy Who Could Not Dream.' With this initiative, he aims to provide hospitalized children with a tool to escape their reality and immerse themselves in a world of fantasy and adventure. He intends, in his own words, "to offer, through literature, emotional support and inspiration to the little ones who are going through difficult times during their hospital stay."

This initiative is part of the Humanization Plan of the Andalusian Public Health System which seeks to humanize healthcare by promoting strategies that value the patient, respect their dignity and rights, and take care of professionals.

'The Boy Who Could Not Dream' tells the story of Nimbo, a boy who feels different and alone because he believes he lacks the ability to imagine like others. The story is a journey of self-discovery that Nimbo undertakes to explore his inner world, learning that imagination is not something innate, but a quality that can be cultivated and grown. The narrative highlights the importance of friendship and the courage needed to face fears and challenges. Throughout his adventure, Nimbo discovers that he has a special ability: the capacity to find solutions to problems and realizes his own inner worth and potential to create wonderful worlds and help others.

In the words of the author himself, "the central message of the story is that we all have something special inside, something that makes us unique and valuable, and that imagination is a treasure that can be awakened. This can be especially comforting for children facing illness. The book can help them feel less alone, find the courage to face their fears, and discover the strength they carry within, just as Nimbo does in the story." "Ultimately, stories offer a spark of curiosity and the invitation to explore the magic that we all carry inside, something vital for the spirits and well-being of the little patients," he highlights.

This personal initiative by Miguel Ángel Jiménez Santana is linked to his professional experience in the health sector and his passion for children's writing. In fact, the book is edited and illustrated using information technology by the author himself. With this magical combination of his professional vocation, his creative side, and his special sensitivity to the healthcare world, he manages to "emphasize the potential of literature in harmony with new technologies to provide comfort, hope, and inspiration when it is most needed."
