About the Author
This children’s story is based on the life of the author, Daniel Kinchlea—a 9-year-old boy with a rare autoinflammatory disease. Daniel has struggled with symptoms of prolonged fevers, rashes, systemic arthritis, lung disease, and more. Early in Daniel’s journey, finding proper access to the right kind of specialized healthcare was a struggle, and concerns for his health were often dismissed. Now that he has proper care, he wished to bring recognition and awareness to these rare rheumatological diseases.
