How Storytelling Fosters Compassion for Kids with Chronic Illness

A children's book leads to this conversation, which bridges the worlds of chronic illness, creativity, and connection. I talk with MB (Britt) Mooney, author of "The Mouse Who Couldn't Eat Cheese," a children's book inspired by a young woman named Alex who lived with severe Crohn's disease. MB, a science fiction and fantasy author, stepped outside his usual genre to create a story that helps kids and families understand invisible illnesses and the power of friendship. You'll hear behind-the-scenes insight on MB's creative process, the lessons learned from working with Alex's family, and the message he hopes every reader takes away—whether they live with inflammatory bowel disease or not. Episode transcript and more information at: https://bit.ly/AIBD181 Topics in this episode include: 🦉 Representation of chronic illness, specifically Crohn's disease, in children's literature. 🦉 The importance of empathy and understanding in friendships, especially for children with chronic illnesses. 🦉 The challenges faced by children with Crohn's disease and the need for social inclusion. 🦉 The creative process involved in writing a children's book and the balance required in storytelling. 🦉 The role of creativity in problem-solving and fostering community. 🦉 The significance of raising awareness about chronic illnesses through literature. 🦉 The broader themes of connection, support, and validation for children facing health challenges.

I talk with Brooke Abbott of The Crazy Creole Mommy Chronicles about what it's like to be a parent with a chronic illness and how that's affected our relationship with our children. We also try to figure out how to clone ourselves and I'm so tired that I get the name of a well-known celebrity wrong -- several times.
