“I just read this book to my kids. My daughter said ‘Mom, I’m a food allergy helper!’
This book is one that every food allergy family should own! As a fellow dietitian and food allergy mom, the message in this book hits home. Caring for food allergies is a family affair and something that everyone can be involved with in an age-appropriate way.
The author wove excellent tips into a storybook that can be read to children to help them learn about life with food allergies. This is an excellent children’s book that I hope will soon be in classrooms, doctor’s offices, and stores. Food allergy advocacy and knowledge is important not only for adults, but kids too!”
“Oftentimes I struggle with kids’ books that focus on big topics. They either end up being too high-level or missing the point entirely.
“Be A Food Allergy Helper” breaks that mold. It is clearly written for a younger reader with simple language and fun illustrations, yet it manages to portray the important realities of families with food allergies.
It’s both a fun and informative book that my 2 and 4 year old enjoyed. As a Registered Dietitian who regularly works with children with food allergies, this has become a valued tool in serving those families.”
