Some Days My Body Is Loud

This one is for the child whose body hurts in ways nobody can see. Some days the body whispers, and some days it is loud, and none of it shows on the outside. A gentle story about real pain with no bruise to point to, the hard part of being told you look fine, and the difference it makes when one grown-up finally believes you. Written by an author who knows invisible pain from the inside. For ages 4 to 10. In paperback on Amazon, or as a digital download for iPad and Kindle.
