Our 9 year old duaghter was recently diagnosed with Celiac's Disease and although we were all relieved to have her tummy aches (and the countless canker sores) gone she's had an extremely hard time dealing with the changes we've had to make.
This book has been a huge help since our daughter was able to identify with the character in the book and she even decided to share the book with her class (but they skipped the bathroom part)so that they can also understand why she couln't eat the same foods they were able to eat and also why she grew 1 1/2 inches in 2 months after the gluten was removed from her diet!

My son was diagnosed with Celiac's at 18 months. We received this book as a gift. It was a great way to help my son understand what was going on with the change in his diet and why. He was able to take this book to daycare and read it with his class. This helped his friends, teachers, and other caregivers better understand what having Celiac's disease means in day to day life. It was wonderful to have a main character be just like him, unable to eat what everyone else was eating. My son is now 6 (and doing GREAT) and has a friend who was just diagnosed. We are giving her this book as a gift. We hope this book helps her as it much as it did us. The only way it could be better was if there was a "boy" version to choose since my son has no interest in being a ballerina (:

THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND WRITTEN IN AN EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND MANNER. IT HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH IN MY EFFORT TO COOK GLUTEN FREE MEALS FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AS AN IMPORTANT TOOL TO HAVE AND USE DAILY.
