Author Name
Sue Kleinhuizen (Author)
Sue Kleinhuizen grew up on a family run farm in rural Minnesota. She was one of four children, being the only daughter. She enjoyed the outdoors and working on the farm, especially with all the farm animals, many of which became pets. Sue was active in doing the animal chores and assisting with field work. She learned at an early age how to clean the house, do laundry, and cook. Sue has always enjoyed reading books and often stayed up late at night to be able to finish a great adventure the books had to offer. Much of Sue’s life has been devoted to helping children including being a mother of three boys, a Sunday school teacher, a Cub Scout leader, a day care provider, a teacher’s aide, and working with people with disabilities. When the last of her children graduated from vocational school, Sue returned to school herself and earned her Registered nurse degree. She worked in nursing home care and then spent the majority of her nursing career working in a mental health hospital. Sue retired early, shortly after the onset of the COVID pandemic. She has an auto-immune disorder called psoriatic arthritis, which has compromised her immune system. Sue enjoys cooking, gardening, quilting, crafting, exploring rummage sales and thrift stores, fishing, and spending time with her husband, family, grandchildren, and friends. She has had a strong desire to write children’s books and took this opportunity to explore her talents. Sue hopes to alleviate fears and concerns that children may have regarding various health conditions through her books. This book was written based on a true event. One of Sue’s granddaughters was also recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis at age seven.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Grandma and Me was written by this author in hopes to provide an educational tool for children diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. The book describes, in an easier-to-understand version for children, what is happening to their bodies and what they might be able to do to make it better.

Grandma, the author, was diagnosed with PA after a serious injury with a reaction that triggered her condition. Delilah, the main character of the book, was diagnosed at age seven with PA.

Delilah was struggling to understand the importance of managing her condition prompting Grandma to write the book so it could be used to educate children and alleviate some of the concerns that they may have. It describes what psoriatic arthritis is, how it is diagnosed, what common symptoms are, how people get this condition, and what can make it worse.

The book describes the types of doctors that may be involved, available treatments, and the importance of getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and how to protect your skin. Children with psoriatic arthritis may experience many feelings and emotional concerns.

This book addresses many of the challenges that these children face as well as offers helpful suggestions about the importance of educating yourself, your family, peers, and people in your support system about this condition. The book teaches children to be comfortable with who they are as it points out that we are all special in our own ways and that Jesus loves everyone just the way they are.

It encourages educating each other in a class setting about each other's unique differences. This book encourages the concept that when we treat others with kindness, they will treat us with kindness too.

By providing more education about each other's differences and having an improved understanding of each person's unique needs, perhaps the children can develop a support system for each other. The book is designed to help boost self-esteem for those who are dealing with this particular medical challenge as well as broaden their support systems.
