A schoolgirl who penned a guide to dealing with her mother’s epilepsy is celebrating after becoming a published author – in America.
Talented Layla Reid, eight, wrote her ‘Epilepsy Book for Kids’ as a guide to help children cope with an epileptic parent’s seizures, after witnessing her own mother’s seizures.
Sarah Reid suffers from terrifying absence seizures, where she appears to be in a deep daydream.
When Layla showed her book to Bristol publisher John Adler, he was so impressed that he agreed to print it free of charge, and give her a share of the profits.
God bless you and your wonderful! as a mom who got this at a later stage of my life the Dr knew it was going to happen i never did stay calm you will have more power from love and understanding you are a star
where can I get this book for my son? He is 8 years old and has epilepsy.
Many thanks,
Meg
