Being diagnosed with any disease is scary and overwhelming – but for those that are suffering through an “invisible” illness, it can be even harder.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or clueless about how to navigate through life after being diagnosed with an invisible illness, the Invisible Cosmic Zebra Collection by Kitanie Books is for you.
The creative “how to” workbooks aim to make invisibility no longer a disability for those managing an invisible illness. Written from a non-medical perspective, patients ages teen through young adult and caregivers/parents of tweens ages 6-12 can use the 100-page workbooks as a resource tool for understanding the myriad of funny-but-not-so-funny non-medical challenges they might encounter after diagnosis.
The workbooks are full of concrete and practical advice, humor, thought-provoking ideas, coloring pages, and lots of lovable cosmic creatures who give comforting advice—all with the aim of bringing back hope into the lives of those living with an invisible illness.
There are currently 18 workbooks available for 18 different invisible illnesses:
- allergies
- celiac disease
- chronic fatigue syndrome
- concussion
- Crohn’s disease
- diabetes
- Ehlers Danlos syndrome
- fibromyalgia
- Hashimoto’s disease
- lupus
- Lyme disease
- migraines
- multiple sclerosis
- POTS
- PTSD
- rheumatoid arthritis
- Sjogren’s syndrome
- and vestibular disorder
as well as a companion coloring book for all of them.

I have type 1 of Spinal Muscular Atrophy, nearly quadrupling my maximum life expectancy of 8 years old. My father is a cancer survivor and has minor diabetes. Despite these illnesses, we're a very happy family.
