Sarah Jayne Has Staring Moments

An illustrated story book. "Sarah Jayne Possembury is 7 years old and has 'Staring Moments', a condition better known as absence seizures - a form of epilepsy. Sitting at the breakfast table, Sarah Jayne finds herself remembering various problematic situations which have occurred at school due to her 'Staring Moments'. School has become a difficult place for Sarah. With the help of her best friend, John, Sarah overcomes her classmate's prejudices and lack of understanding towards her epilepsy. Like with any debilitating condition, the book shows us that through simple communication and understanding, children can be empowered to overcome the obstacles they face." Note from the Librarian: some of the text in this book may be difficult to read, particularly for people with dyslexia or visual impairments, due to the colours of the text and patterns in the background.
