Excerpts from my book Abby and Her Guitar a children’s sickle cell book which Francis Xavier Ssendagire (RIP) read and gave me good feedback. He was the first person to read my manuscript.
“We have soldiers in our body that fight enemies to keep us safe. We have some soldiers that fight against diseases and others that keep our bodies strong like superman. Soldiers in our bodies are like policemen. They protect us from enemies. When you have sickle cell disease, your soldiers are not strong enough. So they are easily defeated. So Aunt Joan did not want your soldiers to be defeated when you remove your sweater. Your soldiers are not strong as other children who don’t have sickle cell. You have to put on a sweater when it’s cold to protect your soldiers from those strong enemies”
