Welcome to The Lupé Mission — Where Empathy Leads the Pack.
Inspiring children, supporting families, and spreading lupus awareness one spoon at a time.
Why Lupé Matters
Lupé was created to help children understand something many adults still struggle to explain — invisible illness. Some people look perfectly fine on the outside while fighting exhausting, painful, and life-altering battles on the inside. Inspired by the principles of Spoon Theory, Lupé introduces young readers to the idea that everyone has a different amount of energy each day — and that kindness, patience, and empathy can make a real difference. By giving families and classrooms language to talk about invisible challenges, Lupé creates space for compassion, understanding, and real-world impact that extends far beyond the pages of a book.
“Created by lupus survivor and advocate Jeremy Krech, Lupé was born from a journey of resilience, faith, and the desire to turn invisible battles into visible hope.”
“I told my husband after all the things I did today I think I’m out of spoons! He told me not to worry about doing the dishes. Us coming to see his station was worth more than the dishes—so I could save my spoons! Thank you for giving us this easy way to communicate and understand!”

“Lupé the Wolf is a heartwarming tale that shows children and adults alike not only the kinds of struggles people with autoimmune disorders experience every day of their lives, but also how to attack each day with a positive attitude and to be there for the same people who are often leaned on during flares. My kids and I love this story and cant wait for the next book in the series!”
— Dr. Ordway
