My Super Computer and the Storms
Written and Illustrated by Michelle Carr
 
My Super Computer and the Storms is a gentle, beautifully illustrated children’s book that helps explain Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) — a treatment used to help manage epilepsy when seizures are not fully controlled by medication.
 
Told through the eyes of a young girl named Evie, the story follows her journey as she learns about her “Super Computer” — a small device that sends little whispers to help calm the electrical storms in her brain.
 
This comforting story helps children, families, and carers understand what a VNS does, what to expect after surgery, and how it helps over time.

It’s both story and education — with easy-to-follow science pages for parents, carers, and educators explaining how the device is implanted, how it’s checked by nurses, and how it quietly supports children living with epilepsy.
 
Created by the team behind Thunderstorm Inside My Head, this book is designed to bring comfort, understanding, and hope to families on their own epilepsy journey.
 
Perfect for:
Families and children living with epilepsy
Teachers, carers, and support staff
Hospitals, charities, and educational settings
 
Paperback | Full Colour | Suitable for ages 5+
