My Wonderful Body™

Living and Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease

by Dr. Joy Pillay, Ed.D

Tip, a resilient ant, is suddenly introduced to her new reality, living with an autoimmune disease. Enjoying carefree days of playing with family and friends, learning new and cool subjects at school, she is now personally faced with the challenging reality of living with and learning about an autoimmune disease and its impact on not only her physical body, but her emotional state as well. Tip is encouraged to deeply explore and process what it truly means to have a wonderful body and actively uses healthy tools to process her feelings about living with an autoimmune disease. My Wonderful Body: Living and Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease is a story about resilience, exercising emotional intelligence, empowerment, and finding strength while learning to live and thrive with an autoimmune disease in your wonderful body.

This learning experience includes a journal, My Wonderful Body: Journaling to Thrive, as well as a curriculum guide, My Wonderful Body: Education Exploration Guide, where readers can express and explore their feelings along with Tip about living and thriving with an autoimmune disease.
