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.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
