Epilepsy is scary and it can lead to seclusion and solitude, especially among children. It can affect all possible aspects of a person's life. It can bring about mental health issues and it can be traumatic when others see these epileptic episodes. This book gives a closer-to-heart view of epilepsy and it also provides detailed information for parents or caregivers on what to do if you encounter this scenario.

Whole-heartedly appreciate the author's effort and courage to shed light on epilepsy in a kid-friendly way. The illustrations are so beautiful and suit the story's magic perfectly. Awareness is the key!

This book is a perfect read (or a read-aloud) for kids aged 3 or more. Being aware of epilepsy is very important for every one of us, this would enable us to help others in case a need arises.
