About the book:
For a young boy, his flying pig represents possibility. For some who know him, it's his imagination run amuck. Join this boy as he travels a journey of self-discovery. Watch his world open up through the sharing of his friend. Smile as he learns to embrace what others see. This story will make you laugh. It will remind you of the rewards to be had for accepting the wonderful differences in us all.

About the foundation:
Founded in January 2010 by Mike and Mariann Stanton after the Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation is dedicated in its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures. With more than three million people facing the challenges of epilepsy in the U.S. —and more than 50 million people affected by epilepsy worldwide— the issue of aggressively addressing SUDEP is as urgent as it is logical.
