Hey! I Spotted A Stroke by Emonena Abenabe Akwara
What if knowing the signs of a stroke could help save a life?
Children can learn important life-saving lessons too—and Hey! I Spotted a Stroke makes one of those lessons simple, memorable, and engaging.
Through colourful stories about children, parents, grandparents, doctors, and everyday family experiences, this educational children’s book introduces young readers to stroke awareness and the importance of acting quickly when something is wrong.
Instead of presenting health information in a complicated way, the book uses storytelling, relatable characters, illustrations, simple activities, and fun memory tools to help children understand what a stroke is and recognise some of its warning signs.
Inside, young readers will discover:
- A simple introduction to stroke awareness
- Easy-to-understand lessons about recognising possible stroke symptoms
- Why getting emergency medical help quickly matters
- Family stories that make health education easier to understand
- Helpful interactions with healthcare professionals
- Fun activities and questions to reinforce learning
- A memorable Stroke Song to help children remember what they have learned
From Tutu’s Quick Thinking to Grandpa Isa’s story and the adventures of Mensah and Doctor Kiki, children are encouraged to become more observant, thoughtful, and prepared when it comes to their health and the health of people around them.
Perfect for parents, teachers, schools, libraries, children’s health programmes, and anyone looking for an engaging way to introduce children to basic stroke awareness.
Because sometimes, knowing what to look for—and knowing to act fast—can make all the difference.
