Editorial Review: Becky is Sarah's big sister. In many ways they are alike, but as Sarah says, "Becky is brave…and I am not." Becky walks Sarah to her classroom each day. She is brave about going to a new school, about standing up to a big dog, and even about having epilepsy. But one day Becky has a seizure during class. Many kids stare, and some laugh. That evening, Becky decides she doesn't want to go to school anymore. The next day Sarah walks to her classroom all alone. As she passes by Becky's class, the students call out to her, "Aren't you Becky's sister? Is she going to get better?" Shy Sarah wants to tell them about Becky's illness. Now she must find the strength to be brave for her sister.

I'm the illustrator of Becky the Brave!, 2007-01-10
I am the illustrator of Becky the Brave! I learned so much about epilepsy while working on this project. The illustrations are done in pastel on colored pastel paper. I used two sisters from my church as models for Becky and her sister. Look for a special copies for sale in the collectible (used and new) section, that include a personalized note from me explaining how I illustrated Becky the Brave!!

Great way to introduce Epilepsy to children, 2006-11-15
I used this book as a basis for a lesson plan introducing Epilepsy to lower grades. The story not only shares some basic information about Epilepsy, but does a great job of getting children to think about what it might feel like to have it and how nervous and afraid a child may be to come to school. A great way to teach compassion to all children. Well written and great illustrations.
