When Alice wakes up with a terrible pain in her stomach, she's not sure what might be the cause. A doctor at the hospital asks her to pick which face on a numbered pain chart best shows the suffering that she's experiencing. The problem is, she's nervous and isn't sure. That's when the faces turn into imaginary friends who help her speak up about what she's feeling. This fictionalised version of Alice's real experience chronicles her struggle to get the right diagnosis after suddenly being struck with appendicitis. Caregivers and kids alike will benefit from reading this meaningful book about advocating for yourself during a medical emergency. With whimsical and comforting illustrations by Fanny Liem, the gentle telling of this true story will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to be believed.

Alice Paul Tapper, seventeen, is a Girl Scout, misdiagnosis activist, sepsis advocate, and high school senior in Washington, D.C., where she lives with her mom and dad, brother, and her two dogs Moose and Clementine. She is active on her local crew team, and this is her second book.
Fanny Liem was born and raised in Indonesia and has had a deep passion for art and storytelling since her early childhood. Her journey into the world of illustration was sparked by the gift of picture books from her uncle. When she is not immersed in the creative process, Fanny enjoys indulging in her love for cinema and finding inspiration in the melodies of country music.
