Books with author Alexa Simmons

The following story was written in 2010 by my daughter Alexa who passed away on October 11 2011 from complications due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Most people do not even know that EDS exists and, for that matter, most doctors unfortunately do not understand it and often diagnose it as a psychiatric issue versus a disease/illness. I hope this story increases awareness of EDS and related disorders – perhaps it will inspire people to understand that many diseases are not observable and that they need to be more compassionate towards others.

The Kids' Comic Con was created to bring young people, parents, and educators together with talented artists for an insider's look at the world of comics and cartoons. Patrons can meet the artists, find great books, take workshops, and more. They even learn how comics can be entertaining and educational. But mostly, we want them to have fun, and naturally that’s what our first published comic anthology is all about – Fun! So enjoy this book. It’s a collection of good stories, created by talented people who remember how fun looks and feels – but most … how to share it with children.
