TIME OUT!

Time Out! A Story About Seizures

By Ana Bains

What happens when your body suddenly doesn't feel in control, and no one understands why?

Time Out! is a warm, reassuring story that helps young children understand seizures in a way that feels safe, simple, and empowering. Through relatable characters and gentle storytelling, this book explains what a seizure can feel like, what others can do to help, and most importantly, that kids experiencing seizures are not alone.

Written especially for children in Grades 1-3, this book:

• Uses age-appropriate language to explain a complex medical condition
• Encourages empathy, kindness, and inclusion among peers
• Helps reduce fear and stigma around epilepsy
• Provides reassurance to children who may be experiencing seizures themselves

Inspired by real-life experiences, author Ana Bains brings both compassion and clarity to a topic that is often misunderstood. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or caregiver, Time Out! is a valuable tool to start important conversations and build understanding early.

Because every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and strong.
