As someone with Lupus, my heart was so happy to see this book. It’s a great one for the shelves of younger readers who are dealing with this condition and get to see it represented in its pages. Not only that, but for their carers too. It’s an illness that doesn’t get nearly enough air time so to see it as centre stage subject was lovely.

It’s short and succinct with some really beautiful illustrations and pictures to accompany the lyrical and poetry style of writing.

It can be so hard having such a chronic and invisible illness like Lupus. You got the feeling of being understood with this book and it was easy to relate to with symptoms and not always feeling your best so especially for younger children with a diagnosis it could be really valuable.

Representation is so important and Chrissy's Life with Lupus definitely helps to do that for children with Lupus. We learn, in simple terms, what it day to day life could look like for a a child with Lupus. This would be a great introduction for young children who may know someone with Lupus, or just for children to have awareness, in general. The illustrations are very sweet and the writing is simple enough for young kiddos to follow.

Thank you to Christina Acosta and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
