Artist Bio: Tell Us Your Story
My name is Moby and I’m 9 years old. I am in the 4th grade. My sister Maryam was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2022. She has all the brain tumor’s friends - adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, hypothyroid and lots of other health problems. She takes medication daily she calls her “special juice”. This is the second comic in the series “Super Maryam” that describes the brain tumor and his friends causing problems for kids. Maryam fights back with her special juice and reminds everyone they can be whatever they want in life even if they have a brain tumor and his friends. I love drawing comics as my hobby. I’m in the comic club at school and draw them with my friend.
