THE JOY OF A CHILD

Childrens hospital is there to cure. It’s stressfull. How can you tell a child they are sick. Or the doctors will make magic. It’s true today as it was in 1996.



Some of the most enjoyable stories are the simplest ones. In 1969 Ross Catanza (my father) as assigned to cover a clown’s trip to Children’s Hospital. it’s one that photojournlaist love.

These stories show humanity.

We will do anything for our kids.

For years Childrens Hospital has done that. Kids need more then just medicine. They need to feel like kids.

Today these kids are grandparents.

Kids need more then just medicine. They need to feel like normal kids.
Coco did that back 1969.

But the smiles and joy are timeless.

I found these negatives in a box. These photos have not been seen since 1969. . As I look back, it’s hard to belive these kids are now older than me.
