Kylie's Special Treat a Food Allergy Fairy Tale #WIN
Tuesday, May 08, 2012
When I saw the title to this book I knew I wanted to review it. Both of my bigger boys have food allergies. Thankfully Jace doesn't have a single one. While my kid's do not have severe allergies (they can eat the food with only rashes or stomach aches) I do know a few kids who are not as lucky. In fact one of my very good friends has a child that is six months older than my middle son Xander. Her child has severe allergies to Milk and Eggs. I think we ended up learning a lot more about food allergies since the kids grew up together and they are in school together. Now the world is a different place for children with food allergies. Local grocery stores carry so many more products for substitutions and you can even go to places like Disney World and they will cater to your special needs!Kylie's Special Treat was an adorable story of a gal named Kylie that had food allergies. What strikes me is that she grows up and gets the prince. Basically even a girl with food allergies can be a princess!! I just love the story and the tips woven in. Smartly written with beautifully illustrated this book is a must have for anyone who has a food allergy.
Additional information from KSB Promotions:
This whimsical fairy tale for children ages 4-8 highlights the fact that kids with food allergies can live happily ever after too. In fact, Anne Muñoz-Furlong, Founder & Former CEO, Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network, comments, "Kylie's Special Treat is perfect! The story shows us all how a food allergy does not have to stop you from reaching for your dreams."
Kylie's Special Treat clearly draws on the beloved Cinderella tale but adds a few pink sparkles of its own to create a fun, memorable, and heartwarming story just right for kids with food allergies. This sweet fairy tale is about a beautiful girl who loves to paint--and dreams of the prince she once met at an art class.
Kylie's Special Treat was inspired by Barbetta's daughter Sofia, whose multiple food allergies compelled her to ask her mom if there was ever a princess with food allergies.
My Thoughts:
I love a story where the main character can achieve any dream they set their mind to. I also like that they author Letizia Barbetta added tips in the back as well as a recipe. As a Mom who has a kid with severe allergies she is doing something that will make a difference in her child's life while touching others.
You can purchase your copy wherever books are sold or find it online at Amazon.com. You can find additional information about this book at kyliesspecialtreat.com.
