Books about Allergies This set of books expands past Celiac Disease to the topic of allergies. Gluten is just one allergen and the discussion about a child's diet can be expanded upon by looking at the allergies of others.
The Gluten Free diet has great limitations within the western dietary habits. However, those who follow this diet are not alone. Loneliness, is an alienating feeling, that left unchecked can be devastating to the emotional growth of a child. Communicating to children that their are others like them is easily done through books.
Diets vary according to family, neighborhood, ethnic group, and ideologies.
Below are books that speak to diets according to:
- Allergy
- Religion: Kosher
- Ideology: Vegetarian
- Ethnic: See Books About Diet
All written developmentally to a child audience.
In this section I include the book "You Are Special" that speaks to the uniqueness of each child.
Books can become an entry into a discussion that can lead a child to see their diet beyond a limitation. During the school age years, kids commonly long to assimilate with their peers. These books, again, might help kids identify uncommon allies in their student body.
