He describes the 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.

Meet "The No Biggie Bunch"

By Heather Mehra & Kerry McManama

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
Trade-or-Treat Halloween
Dairy-Free and Dino-Licious Dig
