Just Like You: Burn Thrivers

Although the amazing people featured in this book may not look like you, they are more like you than you might think. This book was created by the Visual Storytelling Class at Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California, and was the brainchild of Maren Jacobson, one of the students in this class, that is also a burn thrive. After being burned on over 40 percent of her body when she was 2, she has always wanted to get the message out that just because someone looks different, they are Just Like You. This book took over 2 years to complete and was a labor of love for these dedicated students. It is our hope that the creativity woven throughout this book will be an inspiration to each reader and open the eyes of many.
