One of the Gang by Gina Clowes
Addresses the social aspects of having food allergies as a kid. Finishes with great pictures of famous people with food allergies.
Binky Goes Nuts
Great episode in the animated Arthur series focuses on Binky’s new peanut allergy. Very nice for school age kids and their friends.
Binky’s mom is worried about everything when he is first diagnosed. Binky is upset and miserable. Later in the episode, Binky accepts his new responsibilities and learns to advocate for himself.
Allie the Allergic Elephant by Nicole Smith
Good book about peanut allergies for young children. Allie teaches children about food allergies in a very positive way. This book covers the symptoms well and shows many foods that Allie can have.
On page 18, I wish Allie would not ask her friend if the food is peanut free – most young children cannot answer that question!
Nicole also publishes a free monthly newsletter full of important updates.
