Allergy Tales

When AJ moves to a new town, he wonders if his food allergies will get in the way of making new friends. With the help of this engaging story, he's able to manage his allergies, believe in himself, and make a great new friend!

Children with food allergies face unique challenges every day - especially in social situations. Because food allergies must be managed on an ongoing basis, they become an integral part of a child's day-to-day experience. As such, we risk allowing the allergy to define the child - who he is, who he can interact with, where he can go, and what he can do. Allergy Tales: Making Friends helps children build self-confidence by emphasizing that the allergy is just one aspect of who they are - it does not define them. With self-awareness and self-acceptance, children with food allergies will be equipped to transform challenging situations into rewarding social experiences. It's a lesson all children must master.
