"If your child has ever felt out of place, laughed at, teased etc., this heart-warming story of young Livy who struggles with a devastating illness and its scars, is a good reminder that he/she is not alone. Every weakness can be a strength as Livy finds in her "tiger" stripes, and it's this discovery that helps her develop the strength and fortitude to overcome her illness. “Tiger Livy” is a book of hope, empowerment, and joy for children who need a little encouragement." .

"My daughter had kidney cancer when she was 6. It was definitely the hardest thing we have ever faced. Obviously, the treatment was hard but nearly just as difficult was the social and emotional issues that came along with it. She looked sick but wanted to feel normal. She insisted on going to school on her "healthy days" but didn't want to share the details of her illness with her classmates so she was teased. I really wish we had a book like “Tiger Livy” to help her navigate through these tough times. Erin does an amazing job of sharing Livy's struggles and triumphs while living with JM. The book is very kid-friendly and easy to relate to on so many levels. The illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this book to all parents and kids that want to understand better what it's like to live with a chronic health issue and how a simple change in your perspective can truly influence the outcome." -Mom of pediatric cancer patient who reviewed “Tiger Livy” .

"My sister was diagnosed with JDM when she was 10 years old so this topic is dear to my heart. (She is now 29!) Ordered this for my 5 year old son and he really enjoyed the book! I am glad to have a story like this to read as he gets ready to enter kindergarten and encounter some classmates who may be dealing with chronic illnesses." -Amazon Review .

Hi. It’s me, Erin. I get chronic illness and that’s why I co-authored a #childrensbook about it. . I was 26 when I realized my gastrointestinal issues, anxiety, and overall inflammation were due to Celiac Disease. I guess I did ok overall besides the havoc this #autoimmunedisease wreaked on me throughout my childhood and early adult years. . Also, my older brother struggled with his health because of #congential defects. I know what a children’s hospital looks like because of his experiences. I know them intimately. Every day feels like a lifetime. . When my niece got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, all kinds of memories came flooding back to me. Memories I wasn’t even mindful of. This pushed me to make this book to help her and kids like her. . I guess what I’m trying to say is that I know what #pediatricillness means. That’s why I took on the #tigerlivyproject. . I just want to help kids and their families have a way to talk about the impossible. Now, more than ever, with Covid-19 and schools starting in 4-6 weeks, life is harder for chronically ill kids and their families. “Tiger Livy” is a way to show kids that this stage of their journey isn’t the end. . It’s just the beginning. . Peace and love, Team Tiger Livy https://www.instagram.com/p/CCue1iBJxJ4/?igshid=b8bl2u7fswgm

"Amazing book for my daughter who was diagnosed two years ago with JDM. She noticed the logo for Cure JM in the book and noticed the girl getting The same types of meds/treatments. As a four year old, she understood that she is not alone in her journey with this disease and now she says she has cheetah spots, just like Livy has tiger stripes. Highly recommend!!" .

"Such a well written and illustrated book. As an SLP, I used it as my first lesson this year with my students, both Gen. Ed. and Special Ed. Many interpret words very literally and have difficulty with perspective taking. Great conversations resulted regarding their own personal challenges and how they can be strong like Livy. I start each session with “ how were you ‘Tiger-like’ today?” Love it!” . -Amazon Review from #slp .

Happy half birthday, brave Leo! . Leo’s mom shared this picture with us and we are so thankful. He’s young but mighty at two and a half! . Leo has had to do some pretty tough stuff in a very short time. Leo is a JM warrior, who has an NG tube. The regime of treatment is often grueling for JDM warriors, but he is doing it! . He also is adorable, sweet, and has impeccable taste in literature! . Leo, we love you! Keep being awesome! Warm wishes to his whole family. #curejm #tigerlivyproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CCizFFVpwXM/?igshid=uusbfv2fy1cf
