Childrens Online Books
Jacinta Cummins and Elizabeth O’Brian, members of Epilepsy ACT, created the following three children’s books.
These books have been written for young children to start a conversation between parents and children about either the child’s or parent’s epilepsy.
These stories are a great way to explain epilepsy to children., their families and friends. The aim to break down intolerance and discrimination that so often rises due to a lack of understanding of epilepsy.
