My Wonderful Body:Living and Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease

A 2023 award-winning and bestselling children's book, My Wonderful Body: Living and Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease is about a spunky little girl named Tip, who is suddenly introduced to a new reality: living with an autoimmune disease.

Enjoying carefree days of playing with family and friends, learning new and interesting subjects at school, Tip is now personally faced with the challenging reality of living with and learning about an autoimmune disease and its impact on not only her physical body, but her emotional state as well. Tip is encouraged by her family, teachers and friends to deeply explore and process what it truly means to have a wonderful body, while being challenged to actively use healthy tools to process difficult feelings about living with an autoimmune disease.  Can and will Tip be able to rise to this challenge?

The Leadership Conversation Begins Here, Too...

Includes Curriculum Guide and Journal!

Like all ants, adaptation is a tool for not only surviving, but thriving for Tip and her family.

Leading can begin with resilience!

Dr. Joy Pillay has a passion for inspiring and supporting children living with autoimmune diseases.
