With only about 50 children suffering from Hunter syndrome in the UK, this inherited, metabolic disease is mercifully rare. As part of the campaign we needed to explain what the syndrome was, and what its treatment would entail, to five-year-olds. Settling on a picture book format, the illustration style went down very well with parents and nurses. Managing to be both cute and scientifically correct, this piece is helping to inform children with Hunter syndrome all over the world about their condition and its treatment.
