My goal is simple: to create a world in which everyone, regardless of ability, is treated with respect and kindness. When I wrote my first book, I realized there was a hole in the market; although I didn’t fully grasp how significant that void would prove to be. Within months of the book’s release, it quickly became apparent that parents were desperate to find resources to help facilitate difficult conversations about chronic illnesses with their children. I have received countless messages of gratitude from parents who finally feel seen and represented. While my approach may be lighthearted, my intention is not to make light of chronic illness. My goal is to make the burden of a chronic illness lighter for children. I will never negate how difficult it is to live with and manage a chronic illness; after all, I do battle one daily. What I hope to do is offer support and age-appropriate transparency to the children of parents (or anyone in their life) that have their own battle to fight. Our children don’t see our adjustments as burdens, but rather as days filled with love. Our children have questions and it is my hope that through my work, I will help open doors of discussion.
