<div><p>No one likes going to the hospital, but it is extra challenging for young children. They don't always understand why they have to stay there, away from their toys, their friends and their own bed. It also doesn't help that they are forced to wear a hospital gown that isn't always the most fun option. </p><p>One woman has decided that kids in hospitals are going through enough and they deserve a little bit of fun. Summer Germann created "<a href="https://www.bravegowns.com/">Brave Gowns</a>" which give kids the option so wear adorably designed hospital gowns that make them feel like a super hero, a rock star or even a mermaid! </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/17156243_1653962217953119_3451596451618317419_n.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/17156243_1653962217953119_3451596451618317419_n_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Benjamin, pictured above, wears a Brave Gown and his mom loves it.

They do not reflect these children's personalities. They do not bring hope!" </p><p>She decided to make the gowns with patterns and designs that would spark kid's imaginations and hopefully bring them even the smallest amount of joy while they go through something challenging. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Large_Gown_Guitar_Front_1_1024x1024.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Large_Gown_Guitar_Front_1_1024x1024_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Large_Gown_Guitar_Front_1_1024x1024_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Large_Gown_Guitar_Front_1_1024x1024_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The gowns are available to purchase on <a href="https://www.bravegowns.com">her website </a>and start around $35.
