I loved it. As a pediatric pulmonologist, I found this book very helpful for my discussions with families. Chapter 4, "Medicines: The Right Way" was particularly outstanding. I recommend this book to all my patients. Asthma is an incredibly common problem in children and there have not been good resources to distribute or recommend. Thank you!

This book was very helpful in my understanding of childhood asthma. I know this is an increasing problem in the last few years, and this is a great resource. I especially liked the section on asthma myths - so many of those have been spread around causing misinformation and misunderstanding. I would highly recommend this to parents of children with asthma, and for healthcare professionals that care for these children. Bravo!

As a parent of a child with asthma, it can be very confusing to understand all the different medications my child takes, and the different tests that she has had. This book helps to make all that clear. I would strongly recommend it for any parents of children with asthma. I feel that I can trust the information from this reputable source.

I have an asthmatic in the family and I bought the book to learn more about it. Since I know the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, one of the best for children, I thought this was the place to start. I found the introduction of the book as an ebook online, and as soon as I finished reading I bought the book.

I have learned a lot. It has clear and thorough explanations about asthma and how the different medicines work. Also, incredibly useful and easy to follow advice to asthma-prove your home. I found this incredibly helpful. The book is very easy to read, too.

I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about asthma, not just for kids but also for adults.

I cannot recommend more this book, it helped me a lot, being a mother of 2 children that are constantly in need of medicin. The book is easy to read, very well written. loved it

Simple, easy to understand English. A very informative and practical guide to asthma for parents, caregivers, uncles , teachers et cetera.

Athma is for life - if you child has it you need information to guide your decisions and their treatment - do not assume your pediatrician has a handle on your child's illness; they may - but how do you know if you have not armed yourself with information. This guide is a very helpful, detailed first step in getting a handle on your child's illness - understanding the course of treatment, medicines involved, causes, preventions, ect. Educate yourself for the long haul - it will benifit you, but more importantly it will benifit your child.
