Flip through the book here - Thunderstorm Inside My Head
 
A beautifully illustrated children’s book that helps families understand epilepsy through the magic of storytelling and weather.
 
Written by Jonathan Carr, Thunderstorm Inside My Head transforms the experience of seizures into something children can see and relate to — the changing weather inside our minds. From gentle drizzles to rolling thunder and bright rainbows, this book helps explain epilepsy in a way that feels safe, kind, and full of hope.
 
Inspired by Jonathan’s daughter Evie, who lives with drug-resistant epilepsy, and their family friend Amelia, who has Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, this heartfelt story was written to help children understand that seizures, like storms, can be powerful — but they always pass.
 
Through poetic language and gentle illustrations, Thunderstorm Inside My Head opens up conversations about epilepsy, kindness, and courage. It’s designed for children, parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help make the world a little less scary and a lot more understanding.
 
“Every storm passes — and after the clouds, there is always a rainbow.”
