The Lady Bug- Sibling/Family Bead

This tiny little beetle brings with it a powerful message.  Its small size signifies a delicate and loving nature. It portrays the energy of delight, happiness, and child-like wonder.  Seen often as a messenger of promise and Mother Nature’s “perfect little helper”, the ladybug reconnects us with the joy of living and the wonders of the outside world.

The ladybug has a powerful element of protection and is closely associated with love and laughter, making it the perfect symbol to represent the importance of family connections in the NICU.
