My Life Beyond Asthma

A fictional graphic novel adventure story offers a kid’s-eye view of living with, and beyond, asthma.

Author and illustrator Hey Gee brings to life an imaginative, adventurous story based on a real-life Mayo Clinic patient whose interests and activity aren't limited by asthma. This action-packed story shows how he manages his asthma symptoms in different climates and situations, with his cat sidekick, Alfredo, by his side and his inhaler always at the ready. A beautifully illustrated graphic approach provides a kid’s-eye view of living with, and beyond, this common childhood disease. Educational backmatter includes a glossary of key terms, additional information on asthma from the medical editor, and information about the book's creators.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.
