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.

To order a hard copy of these books please contact us.
