​

About the Author: Meet J. R. Hatcher, a remarkable survivor with a mission. His personal story is captivating, but it’s his unwavering focus on education that truly sets him apart.

R. sheds light on a world often misunderstood.

​

The IQ Paradox: Post-insult, J. R. boasts an IQ of 115—an impressive feat considering the odds stacked against him. Yet, here lies the crux: the community-at-large often assumes he’s more able-bodied than he truly is. His recovery, bordering on miraculous, defies expectations. But the idiosyncrasies of a brain injury persist—the subtle nuances that outsiders struggle to grasp.

​

Confusion and Compassion: Onlookers oscillate between anticipation and bewilderment. They expect more, yet the intricacies of TBI remain elusive. J. R. aims to bridge this gap. His passion lies in creating quality illustrated titles for children—books that unravel the mysteries of TBI, spark empathy, and deepen understanding. Parents, teachers, and friends alike can join this enlightening journey.

​

Metropolitan Musings: Currently, J. R. Hatcher calls metropolitan Washington DC home. Amidst the hustle and bustle, he shares his space with two long-haired chihuahuas—a testament to companionship and resilience. But his work doesn’t stop there. He’s collaborating on his third title with co-author A. L. Brooks, weaving threads of insight, compassion, and hope.
