ebook Be a Food Allergy Helper! by Lisa Woodruff, RDN
Rebel and Sam like to eat ice cream, play at the park, read books, and watch baseball games. But when their younger brother Luca has an allergic reaction to peanuts, their family must learn what foods he can eat and how to keep him safe.
Food allergies affect the entire family, even siblings without food allergies. Sometimes they need a reminder that they are loved and special too. This book will help siblings (and friends) without food allergies learn how to embrace the role of Food Allergy Helpers.
