A New Story of Hope for Children With ITP – ITP Support Association
ITP Support Association shared a post on LinkedIn:
”A New Story for ITP Children
We are thrilled to share some wonderful news from our community!
One of our own has created a beautiful picture story book detailing her personal journey of being diagnosed with ITP at just eight years old.
For many families, a childhood diagnosis is a terrifying time filled with uncertainty.
This book was written to offer a ‘fun but educational’ way to explain the condition to children, while providing much-needed comfort and hope to parents.
Why this book is a must-read:
A Story of Hope: The author, who once lived with zero platelets and extensive bruising, is living proof that children with ITP can go on to lead healthy, happy, and ‘normal’ lives.
Invaluable Resource: As shared by Elizabeth, mum to 14-month-old ITP warrior Brianna, the book helps children feel ‘heard, seen, and understood’ during their journey.
Raising Awareness: Childhood ITP is rare, affecting approximately 4–5 per 100,000 children. Stories like this are vital for spreading awareness and building a supportive community.
Whether you are navigating a new diagnosis or want to help your child understand their ‘spots and bruises,’ this story is a powerful tool for the bookshelf.”
