Luke wakes up in the middle of the night, because there is a tiger next to his bed. The tiger can’t find her babies, and she asks Luke for help. During their adventure, Luke discovers that various animals have their own story regarding their skin, just like he has.
What’s special about this story?
Jolien van der Geugten PhD, the author, is mother of a son with ichthyosis:
‘When my son went to grade school, I was unable to find an inspirational story about his skin condition. I think this is very important, that my son can identify with a children’s book, and that other children can learn about having special skin in an approachable way.”
The message in this story is valuable for children with and without skin problems, as it will help them to understand each other better. Read more about Jolien.
