Books for kids about epilepsy

[RiffRaffMama]

Could I have some suggestions please for some books that might help my older kids (11 and 9) understand my epilepsy better? There seems to be a few books for kids *with* epilepsy, but precious little for kids with parents with epilepsy.
Many thanks
Tracy.

I had to laugh... I just posted in the creative writing forum about writing a picture book for kids along these lines...

I have no idea if any even exist, which I realized earlier and it made me think about writing something like that. Except, with my writing style, it'd probably wind up being sarcastic and funny and not at all appropriate for children...

If anyone can find one, I'd love to hear about it. I'd probably get it for my niece so she understands better whats going on with me and what she should / shouldn't do.

Some links that may help. If you track something down, feel free to comment on it in The Library Critics Corner sub forum.

I found this one:

I Know Someone with Epilepsy by Parker, Vic

Presents basic information about what epilepsy and seizures are, what can cause them, how people deal with them, and what it is like to have a friend with epilepsy.

Ok well I'm giving "I know someone with epilepsy" a go as well as an epilepsy comic book "what's up with Wendy?" from Medikidz. Will let you know how they turn out when they arrive
Thanks for your suggestions everyone!
