Are you looking for a kid’s celiac book that would be a great teaching tool about the celiac diagnosis?
This holiday consider getting a funny children’s celiac book that teaches about being a good friend, a good sport on the football field, and a lot about celiac disease, too.
The main character in this celiac book for kids, appropriately named Cilie Yack, learns about common celiac disease symptoms and gluten free eating. Cilie Yack is Under Attack is a fun, fast-paced celiac book just for kids. It packs a lot of juvenile humor in its 16 small chapters. The novel is about a boy who lives on a farm and loves sports, particularly football. But it is also about learning to be on a special gluten free diet. If you have a reluctant reader, he or she will be delighted with the 60 cartoon-like illustrations. There is also plenty of silly humor in this fast-paced celiac book to make the most reluctant child reader turn the page. Cilie Yack’s story is the perfect addition to your teacher’s set of classroom books, too.
Taking place in rural Ireland, this story is a labor of love for all kids who are food allergic, and would make a great addition to any library collection of food allergy and celiac books. …continue reading
I just finished chatting on the phone with Jen Cafferty, Founder of the Gluten and Allergen Free Cooking Expo, which is in its fourth year. She’s filled me in on all the wonderful vendors, cooking classes, and possible children’s events scheduled for the weekend of April 29-May 1, 2011. Interested attendees are asked to register now if they want to receive early registration discounts for this event. I’ve attended past Cooking Expos hosted by Jen as a consumer, and I can tell you that each year this event gets bigger and better. This spring promises to be no different. For the first time, the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo will host cooking classes in two tracks, one geared toward beginners and one for experienced allergen-free cooks looking to expand their knowledge.
