BOOK: 24 page full colour picture book ideal  9-13 years.- by Peter Terrence (Illustrator)

Reed Taylor is like no other kid his age. He has special powers. He has the ability to read the minds of the elderly (specifically anyone over the age of fifty-eight and three quarters). He can alter people's hairstyles with a momentary stare, and he has the unique gift of making the blind look foolish - an ability he hates having and hasn't used since he was a small child. 

Reed has only one notable flaw: his eczema. When he and his rock group take to the skies in their magical hot-air balloon, they make the assertive decision to investigate their evil teacher, Mrs. Bunions. Reed senses something fishy going on, but needs proof. She's always on at him about his skin and so too is Andy Baxter - the schools biggest bully. 
Can Reed and his band solve the mystery? Or will Mrs. Bunions prove to be a slippery fish? 

 

IMPORTANT: Illustrated kids' books about allergies serve several important purposes for children:

  1. Education: These books provide a child-friendly and relatable way to learn about allergies. They explain what allergies are, common allergens, and how to recognize allergic reactions. This knowledge empowers children to understand their own allergies or those of their friends and classmates.

  2. Empathy and Understanding: Allergy-themed books help foster empathy in children. They teach kids to be considerate of others who may have allergies and to be aware of potential allergens. This can reduce the risk of accidentally causing harm to their peers with allergies.

  3. Safety: Children with allergies need to know how to keep themselves safe. Allergy books often include practical tips on avoiding allergens, carrying medications (like EpiPens), and seeking help in case of an allergic reaction. This knowledge can be life-saving.

  4. Reducing Fear and Anxiety: Allergies can be frightening for children, especially if they've experienced severe reactions. Illustrated books can help demystify allergies, making them less scary and more manageable for kids. This can reduce anxiety and increase their confidence in managing their allergies.

  5. Inclusivity: These books promote inclusivity by raising awareness of allergies and their impact. They help create a more supportive and understanding environment for children with allergies, ensuring they feel included and safe in social settings.

  6. Healthy Eating Habits: Some allergy-themed books focus on food allergies. These books can help children with allergies and their peers make informed food choices, promoting healthier eating habits and ensuring that everyone can enjoy meals together safely.

  7. Reading and Literacy Skills: Illustrated books are a fantastic tool for developing reading and literacy skills in children. By using engaging visuals and relatable stories, allergy-themed books encourage kids to read and learn.

In summary, illustrated kids' books about allergies are beneficial because they educate, promote empathy, enhance safety, reduce fear and anxiety, foster inclusivity, encourage healthy habits, and support literacy development. These books play a crucial role in helping children navigate a world where allergies are increasingly common.
