Alexion Releases Children’s Books to Help Kids Understand Rare Diseases

Pegram worked with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, the rare disease unit of AstraZeneca, to create an illustrated children’s book called “Klara’s Talent.” The book employs rhyme and comforting illustrations to explain that gMG patients often feel weak, need rest and medicine, and experience extreme fatigue. Alexion just released the second book in the series, which follows a real-life pediatric nurse who treats young people with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. The company is already exploring a third book concept in the series.
