From patient to published author, the story behind ‘The Day I Met The Magic Machine.’

Presentation description

My name is Jasmine Le Tisser, a Victorian Young Achiever Award winner, neurofibromatosis advocate and recently debuted Australian children’s picture book author.
Today, I will share the story behind my debut children’s picture book, The Day I Met the Magic Machine.
In this presentation, I will share the personal experiences that inspired my children’s picture book, ‘The day I met the magic machine.’, how I have seen that this it isn’t only a resource for children but adults too, and how one challenging part of my own journey became something I could turn into a source of comfort and connection for others.
