  • Children's book to help parents and kids navigate MS

    A book by MSer Julie Stamm, who was diagnosed in 2007. To help parents and kids. -D

    Follow Wyatt and his Mom, Anne, as they navigate through the unpredictable obstacles of a chronic illness, multiple sclerosis. With love and imagination, they can overcome anything. Written from the perspective of a young child, Some Days We… tackles the serious issue of parenting with a chronic illness. Wyatt and his mom, Anne, take the moments that debilitate and reroute them into positive experiences. Some Days We… is an exploration into the power of positivity and love. Author Julie A. Stamm brings her personal battles and experiences with multiple sclerosis to the story. Each page is based on an actual moment lived by the author and her son. Julie takes the dark negative tone associated with chronic illness and turns it into uplifting empowerment for the reader. Illustrator Sean J. Laven adds a dreamlike tone to the book. His hand-painted watercolors captivate the reader through the enchanted mind of a child. Having a chronic illness himself, Sean recognizes the worth of the book and through his art emboldens it. Sean seamlessly captures Julie’s days from her son’s eyes. This book about Multiple Sclerosis is a wonderful tool to help parents educate their children about MS and/or any chronic illness. It is an insightful book focused on teaching the reader on life with a disability while promoting ableism and resilience.

    I just had the good fortune to chat with Julie this afternoon. She's awesome! Her MS story is inspiring as well. She has a similar mindset that I do and she also was diagnosed about the same time I was. So that automatically makes her cool to boot.
