What great kids book about food allergies have you found that empowers kids in a sweet and gentle way? Tell us so we can feature it here!​

Tell Us!

Through books we can gently empower children with food allergies and related conditions with the knowledge and know-how they need to stay safe. We can also educate their classmates, teammates, and friends about food allergies and how to help people with food allergies. J.K. Rowling once wrote, “I don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.” We believe that the 'magic' in these books is their power to encourage kids to believe in themselves.

"...it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.”

—J.K. Rowling
