About the Author
Sarah Watts is a debut author passionate about raising the profile of epilepsy. The physical, emotional, social and developmental journey of her preschool son’s epilepsy diagnosis was her inspiration for this book. She hopes that it will normalise the lived experience of epilepsy and reaffirm for children that they can tackle whatever challenges may come their way.
About the Illustrator
Aleksandra Szmidt grew up in Poland and worked as a graphic designer. She currently resides in New Zealand as a freelance illustrator. From her home studio, Aleksandra creates one-of-a-kind artwork for clients across the world. Her love of drawing plants and animals can be attributed to her landscape architecture studies. She also likes to design magical things detached from reality. The majority of her artwork is made with traditional watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil but she also creates digital art.
