Invisible

“Invisible” is an illustrated work about everyday life with chronic illness and invisible symptoms. The author, who is chronically ill herself, shares her experiences through dark humor and sarcasm, with honesty and without sugar-coating. Each spread in the book focuses on a single moment or situation: taking a shower, visiting the doctor, cleaning the house, climbing stairs, or masking in social situations. Alongside the illustrations runs a narrative of what it’s like to live in a body that doesn’t work the way it should - and yet, life goes on, one day at a time. This book doesn’t offer tips for better posture or green smoothie recommendations. What it does offer is relatability, hope, maybe a little comfort and hopefully a few unexpected laughs. Who is this book for? For people living with chronic illness and their loved ones. For those who care for someone with an invisible condition. For anyone who wants to better understand what life can look like, even when everything seems fine on the outside. “Invisible” is the author’s second book - the first was about coffee. This one covers everything else. But don’t worry, there’s still coffee.
