Boomer Debbie Gets a Carebot: An Illustrated Story
Writer Elizabeth Lamont reached out to me via Substack as she was looking for an illustrator to bring her fiction piece, Boomer Debbie Gets A Carebot, to life. The story centers Debbie, a Boomer, who is in the middle of a health scare. In an effort to lean on our healthcare system, she feels unsupported and invisible. Doctors are dismissing her concerns because of her age and Debbie knows they are wrong. She begins to search for other ways to get the care she needs. Thus, a Carebot. Read this beautiful important fiction piece and witness the illustrators here.
“Oh, Diamonde! I am thrilled!!” I couldn't be more pleased. The colors and images are so perfect. They catch the courage and hopefulness of Debbie when she gets the bot, and the care they provide each other until their inevitable vulnerabilities show up. Thank you for "getting" the story and creating images that add so much to the tone and meaning of it.”
