Some goats are known to faint. Paxton faints, but he has also been diagnosed with Dysautonomia. This means that the "auto" parts of his body do not work so automatically. Paxton cannot do everything he wants to do. But with support, he can learn to put the most important things first. Paxton's story can be used by parents, teachers or counselors to open dialogue about challenging assumptions. Further material can be found at www.donkeypenguin.com. Paxton is a goat, different from the other farm animals. Some of the animals will never understand him, while others happily help him. No matter what, he must remember to love himself. The final pages provide a simplified explanation of Dysautonomia along with some of the common symptoms. Paxton's story delivers a healthy message for readers of all ages, childhood through adult, who struggle or know someone with an invisible illness.
