Becky the Brave is a story about two sisters and the oldest has epilepsy. Becky wants to be like any normal kid who plays and has fun with her classmates, but she is embarrassed that they will find out that she has epilepsy. Becky's sister thinks that Becky is the bravest person because of how she handles her epilepsy, but also because she has a fearless nature. She looks up to her big sister. So when Becky has a seizure at school, her sister is forced to go to school by herself. At school she comes across Becky's classroom and explains Becky's condition to her classmates. She doesn't just explain the side effects of epilepsy, but she tells her classmates how brave Becky is and what she is good at.
This book would be a good story to use in order to educate students on epilepsy if a child in the class lives with the condition. It would educate the students on what epilepsy is, but also the idea that the child diagnosed with it just wants to be like any kid. It is important to treat children with epilepsy just like any other kid, and this book definitely gets that message across to its audience.
