Seattle, WA – January 6, 2025 – Brandi Harrington, a Seattle-based children's author and speaker, is proud to announce the release of her new series of medically themed children's picture books. Drawing from her personal experiences as a mother of a child diagnosed with epilepsy and cerebral palsy, Harrington's books aim to educate and inspire families navigating similar challenges.

 

The series includes:

• "Charlie & Chase: Understanding My Brother's Disability": A heartfelt story that delves into the dynamics of sibling relationships when one child has a disability.

Harrington began writing these stories after her son's diagnosis at the age of three, with the goal of using kid-friendly language to explain medical conditions to children and their families. Her passion for storytelling is evident in her dedication to creating resources that promote hope, inclusion, and resilience.

 

"Each story is based on my own struggle as a mom with a child who needs different and extra," Harrington shares. "My heart's desire is to get these books in the hands of those who can benefit from them the most."

 

In addition to her writing, Harrington is an advocate for families dealing with disabilities, offering speaking engagements and resources through her website.

 

The books are available for purchase on Amazon and through her official website.
