Sandy Writes Her Story

By Jo Pittman

Sandy Writes Her Story is a heartfelt picture book about living with invisible illness or struggles and finding healing through creativity, self-authorship, and connection. When Sandy meets Thea, a wise turtle who encourages her to share her story, she learns to name her feelings, honor her limits, and discover that even when her illness can't be seen, she can-and her story matters.

A tender celebration of emotional expression and the importance of being seen, Sandy Writes Her Story is written for children-and the adults who support them-navigating chronic illness, big feelings, and the early stages of self-understanding.
