About Mitchell Itches

An uplifting story about a boy who doesn’t let his eczema hold him back from having fun and facing his fears.

Meet Mitchell, a boy who is part of the one in five children living with eczema. In Mitchell Itches, we learn about his experiences with this condition, including the common triggers and stresses of managing it, while also understanding his resilience, the support he gets from his friends and family, and the self-care he practices to manage his symptoms.

As part of his journey, Mitchell discovers a unique talent. His Uncle Sean introduces him to the guitar to keep his itchy hands occupied. Mitchell’s condition, surprisingly, leads him to a new passion that could make him a sensation. Will his newfound talent take centre stage at the school band auditions?

This engaging story helps children to empathise with others and understand the realities of living with a skin condition, showing that challenges can also lead to discovering our strengths.

Kristin Kelly‘s professional journey spans from nursing in a large Sydney, Australia hospital to preschool teaching and working as an end-of-life biographer. She combined her lifelong experiences with eczema and her diverse professional background to craft “Mitchell Itches.” Kristin believes in nurturing kindness in the classroom and cherishes the privilege of capturing individuals’ life stories. Her unique experiences underscore the value of empathy and continuous learning.

Amelina Jones‘ passion for nature, stories, and paints shines through her illustrations. Working with traditional watercolour and ink, she loves weaving storytelling elements and emotions into her artwork. Her preferred medium, watercolour and ink, offers her the creative freedom she enjoys, creating illustrations that breathe life into stories.
