“Gluten-Free
Friends provides the
right tools to overcome the most
common problems experienced when
a child is diagnosed with celiac
disease.––Alessio Fasano,
M.D, Director, Center for Celiac
Research, University of Maryland
“What is gluten?
Why can’t I eat it?” Imagine being a kid and not being able to eat cookies,
pizza, or spaghetti––like your friends.
Many kids have to
avoid these foods because they contain gluten, a protein in wheat and other
grains that is toxic. This is especially true for kids with celiac disease, a
particular form of gluten intolerance. This book––for kids 4 to 11––helps them
understand why and how to live happily gluten-free.
Written by
nationally recognized expert, Nancy Patin Falini, MA, RD, LDN,
The book features
Megan and Ben, two friendly gluten-free kids who:
-
Explain what
gluten is in simple, easy-to-understand words
-
Describe
how gluten makes celiac kids get sick
-
Decide which
foods to avoid on a gluten-free diet
-
Demonstrate how
to make the right food choices to be healthy
Delightful illustrations and fun, easy-to-use, multi-sensory learning activities
empower kids to make the right food choices in a variety of settings such as
school, at a friend’s house, or at a party.
Parents and
caretakers will love the easy-to-follow instructions that help them guide
children through the learning activities and explore their thoughts and feelings
along the way.
