No Lobster, Please!
by Robyn Rogers
This
colorful and captivating picture book
tells the first-person

first time he had a reaction, the tests that identified his food
allergies, and some of the ways he avoids coming into contact with
them. This award-winning book was written by a mom to help her son understand his allergy, and beautifully illustrated by
a group of first-grade students.

creatively with food allergies. While
food allergies are taken seriously in these books, the practical and
social challenges they impose are treated as “no biggie” by the
characters and the people who care for them. Kids learn a lot while
having fun reading these fun stories and sharing them with friends:
Sports-Tastic Birthday Party
Peanut-Free Tea for Three
