Crohn's Disease Education - Blank Page Series
The Blank Page: Adding Colorful Purpose to Crohn's Disease is a book AND activity guide designed to help children understand Crohn's Disease, develop coping skills, and discover a hopeful perspective.
In this story, the book pages themselves take on life as our two main characters. We are introduced to "the Blank Page", a character who shares their emotions and experiences through colors, lines, and textures.
When a Crohn's Disease diagnosis leaves a messy mark on the Blank Page, it wonders if any beauty can come from it. With the guidance of a mentor, "the Teacher Page," the Blank page finds hope.
This book, along with the concluding activity guide which includes 10+ therapeutic activities to further coping, helps children learn about Crohn's disease in a child-friendly manner, fostering a greater sense of empowerment and courage.

The Blank Page books are such a valuable resource for child life specialists, caregivers, teachers, and more. Providing children with an interactive and developmentally appropriate way to learn about a new diagnosis makes it less scary and easier to understand. I am confident that these books will help children gain control of their illness (while also having fun!)
Such great information in a creative, easy-to-understand book! I'm so grateful something like this exists. It makes the journey much easier to walk.
Allie’s resources are thoughtful, engaging, holistic, and educational! She takes time to walk through the process that keeps kids engaged and eager to learn to more. Her recourses open doors for more discussion in regards to the diagnosis and the emotional well being of children. So grateful for her attention to detail and her evident care in each book!
These books are lovely - simple and forthright about the diseases and how they impact the body, but also easy for kids to access and understand. The activities allow kids to process and fully comprehend their illness and are engaging and purposeful.
This Blank Page book is so easy to follow. This disease is hard to explain to an adult, let alone a child. But, the creativity of the analogies used here breaks things down in such a simple way. Great for school-aged kids!
