I Spark Like Lightning

In this empowering first-person story, Jen explains what it feels like to live with epilepsy. She describes how her brain sends signals throughout her body and how, sometimes, those signals create “lightning storms” that cause seizures. Even though seizures can happen unexpectedly, Jen is supported by her family, friends, and service dog, Hamilton. Through her story, readers learn about epilepsy, disability, and the importance of empathy and inclusion. This heartfelt book celebrates disability joy and reminds children that differences are an important part of who they are.
