This is a French comic book project in collaboration with a French scene director. Her script is inspired by the story of her daughter who has a condition causing her to be in a wheelchair. The story is depicting, in comedic short scenes, her daughter Jeanne and her friends’ experiences as teenagers in hospitals. 

The concept behind this project is to break misconceptions around disabilities. This is done by exploring their lives and experiences and presenting them using tasteful humour, showing that the children are comfortable with their condition and enjoy joking about parts of their disabilities. Whilst this may be a shock to some people, the comic’s concept is to break society’s stigma of being too afraid of offending a disabled person that the individual often becomes ignored as a result. The children don’t want their disabilities to be ignored but rather to be celebrated. This comic aims to do this and to increase the acceptance of disabled children in everybody’s lives.
