As a mother of three active boys, I keep pretty busy. My youngest son, was diagnosed with severe peanut, tree nut, and milk allergies when he was very young. A few years ago, I was inspired to write a story about what a typical restaurant visit gone awry could look like. Fortunately, we don't get many experiences like the one depicted in this book. Last year, I felt the need to reach out to others like us by beginning a blog "Sharing Community of Food Allergies." Through this blog, and my book, I like to raise awareness for food allergies, and educate myself and others. My book also explores important words you can find as part of a character education curriculum. These words are: kindness, tolerance, respect, empathy, and good citizenship.
