Does your child sometimes feel invisible because a brother or sister needs extra care?
When one child has a disability, chronic illness, or complex medical needs, their siblings often become the quiet helpers-the ones who wait patiently, understand too much, and sometimes wonder if anyone notices them.
Maya knows that feeling.
She helps where she can. She waits through doctor's appointments. She cheers for her little brother. But deep inside, she wonders whether anyone still sees her.
Then one unexpected moment changes everything.
Seen: A Glass Child's Story is a gentle, reassuring picture book that gives voice to the often-overlooked siblings of children with disabilities and chronic illness-sometimes called glass children.
Perfect for:
- siblings of children with disabilities
- families managing chronic illness
- autism sibling support
- hospital and therapy waiting rooms
- school counselors
- therapists
- SEL classrooms
Parents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers can use this heartfelt story to begin conversations about love, jealousy, guilt, resilience, and the importance of helping every child feel seen.
With gentle storytelling and beautiful illustrations, SEEN creates a safe space for children and the adults who love them to talk about difficult feelings together.Because every child deserves to hear:
I see you.
