Présentation
When the two elder members of a family of wild boars have to look after two
small boarlets affected by a disease that prevents them from seeing properly

Together, they will have to deal with the difficult, unpredictable, and
exciting aspects of being the brother or sister of a sick child.
ABOUT HE AUTHORS
Sonia Goerger is a medical secretary who has been welcoming and meeting many
genetic patients for several years. This inspired her to create the “Children
of Genetics” series of books for children. The books in the series deal with
the difficulties that patients may experience in their everyday lives, using
simple words and endearing characters. To bring them to life, Sonia Goerger
collaborated with Christine Juif, a clinical psychologist who assists patients
with genetic diseases and their families during the diagnostic process.
A graphic designer for several years, Elodie Garcia is an author and
illustrator of children’s books and comics. The delicacy of her line allows
her to approach, in a gentle way, difficult subjects. By illustrating the
Children of Genetics book series, she hopes to help families facing rare
diseases.
