Joshua's Brain Has Storms Sometimes is a gentle and reassuring children's story that helps young readers understand epilepsy with clarity, compassion, and calm.
Joshua loves soccer, jokes, and moments that make people laugh. Most days feel bright and normal. But sometimes Joshua's brain has storms-moments when his body tightens, shakes, or becomes still in ways he cannot control.
When a seizure happens, the adults around him stay calm and make sure Joshua is safe. They wait patiently until the storm passes. Afterward, Joshua may feel tired, but he is still the same Joshua-strong, smart, and loved.
Written in simple, child-friendly language, this story helps children understand that epilepsy is not something to fear and not something a person chooses. It teaches that seizures are medical events, not behavior, and that calm support makes a big difference.
The book also includes a special section, How to Stay Calm During Brain Storms, offering guidance for children on how to respond with understanding, patience, and care.
Joshua's Brain Has Storms Sometimes is part of the Fearfully and Wonderfully Made series by Charlene Pinnock, a collection of stories designed to help children understand differences with empathy, kindness, and respect.
Perfect for classrooms, school libraries, therapy settings, and family discussions, this story reminds readers:
Having storms does not define who you are.
They show how strong you already are.
