Meet Helen, a girl with eczema. Helen invites readers to learn about this skin condition from her perspective. This illustrated book is ideal for children aged 7+, as well as parents, friends, teachers and nurses, and is an excellent starting point for family and classroom discussions.

Julie Collier and her daughter have both suffered with eczema since they were around 4 months old. She is a volunteer media contact with the National Eczema Society, helping to raise awareness of the condition and to reach out to others to let them know they are not alone. Julie also does voluntary work with other charities. She lives in the West Midlands, UK.
