Sometimes Drake Needs a Cape: For Every Child with Big Feelings and a Brave Heart

By Essie S.

Sometimes Drake Needs a Cape

A heartfelt picture book about courage, difference, and the quiet superpowers of kids living with Dravet Syndrome.

Drake is five years old, dinosaur-obsessed, and loves to wear his superhero cape-even when he's brushing his teeth. He also has Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that sometimes makes his body do unexpected things. But with his family, friends, and trusty cape by his side, Drake faces each day with bravery, big love, and a spark all his own.

Told with warmth, honesty, and a gentle sense of play, Sometimes Drake Needs a Cape helps young readers understand neurological differences in a way that's accessible, compassionate, and empowering. Whether your child lives with Dravet Syndrome, knows someone who does, or is just learning how to be a kind friend, this book opens the door to important conversations about inclusion, resilience, and what it really means to be strong.

Perfect for ages 4-9 and families, classrooms, and libraries everywhere.
