Seizures: My Glitchy Brain

Seizures: My Glitchy Brain is a beautifully illustrated children’s book that helps kids and families understand seizures with compassion, clarity, and hope. Told through the voice of Grayson — a fun, active kid with a “glitchy brain” — the story explains seizures in kid-friendly language, comparing them to computer glitches that need a simple reboot.

Written with medical expertise and illustrated with warmth, the book:

·      Explains what seizures are, using simple analogies (like computer glitches).

·      Describes different seizure types (tonic-clonic, absence, focal, etc.) with easy-to-follow visuals.

·      Provides safety steps for friends, teachers, and caregivers to follow during a seizure.

·      Introduces important medical terms, treatments, and support options in accessible language.

The book also includes practical sections such as seizure first-aid, common triggers, medicine guidance, and a glossary of “doctor words.” Expertly reviewed by pediatric neurologists, this book balances accuracy with readability, making it an invaluable tool for families, classrooms, and healthcare providers alike.

This engaging story reassures children that seizures don’t define them, while teaching friends, classmates, and caregivers how to stay calm and safe when they happen. With colorful illustrations, empowering messages, and practical safety tips, this book is the perfect resource for families navigating epilepsy or first-time seizures.
