Amazon Top 10 Bestseller and #1 New Release

This book:

  • Is written for those two-years-old and up. Many adults will also learn a thing or two!
  • Covers what hypothyroidism is, what thyroid flares are, why we may need to reschedule plans, what thyroid medication is and more. All in an age-appropriate way for kids to understand without feeling worried.
  • Includes a fun “find the butterfly on each page”, for kids to engage with the thyroid gland being butterfly-shaped!
  • Includes further resources to start a dialogue between child and caregiver about their symptoms and what it all means.
  • My own children inspired me to write this book, when I was asked questions such as “Why don’t you eat gluten?” and “Why is mummy more tired some days?”
  • This answers their questions, encourages them to see those with chronic illness with acceptance and awareness and also teaches them the signs of a thyroid condition too.
