Wonderful story!
I love Sally Huss' children's books. They teach children and adults such valuable life lessons in a fun way and they are beautifully illustrated by the author herself. This is a delightful book that teaches children about food allergies, helping them to feel more confident in front of their peers. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Sally!
Great book for learning about food allergies
This story presents important information about food allergies in a kid-friendly way. Children with severe allergies will feel comforted and less alone by reading this book. Children who have friends or classmates with food allergies will be able to learn more about how they can support and help their friends/classmates. I like that that the story encourages empathy. The cute illustrations helped make this enjoyable read.

He has food allergies, he explains how to take care of himself and how to avoid certain foods. The class is very interested and ask many questions.

The More you Know
Thanks for this great book that not only is full of great information, but is a terrific way to ease worries children may have. Life is scary, especially when you have allergies or other health issues. The authors handle this subject with fun illustrations and easy to understand information to help children and those who love them deal with all life hands out so much better.
A delightful children’s book with an important message!
This delightful story can be used to help children understand the challenges that children with food allergies go through on a daily basis. In kid-friendly language, it answers questions that children may have about food allergies. It also can be read to help those with food allergies know that they’re not alone. I highly recommend A Lesson for Every Child: Learning About Food Allergies to elementary teachers, parents, school nurses, children’s librarians, and anyone else who reads to young children!
Food allergy awareness!
I highly recommend this awesome book that promotes food allergy awareness. I had so many food allergies growing up and my young self would've SO appreciated this book— how it normalizes kids having food allergies, presents important information, and shows how to safely manage them. How great to be able to introduce this to my students now that I'm a teacher!
An Amazing Resource for Parents, Educators & Kids

CHALLENGE MET
What a delightful addition to the Sally Huss children’s book series. This book is especially relevant for me as my oldest grandchild deals with food allergies and carries an epinephrine pen with her everywhere she goes. Jack enters his new classroom. He is a shy child with a special problem. Mrs. Emerson, his new teacher, asks Jack to tell the class about it. Jack doesn’t like being the center of attention but soon his new classmates eagerly want to learn more. Children learn about food allergies and how they affect a child’s everyday life. I love the way Mrs. Emerson takes Jack’s situation and turns it into a positive by taking the opportunity to teach children about food allergies while pointing out the bravery and self-discipline Jack possesses in coping with them. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers of elementary school children. Children who can’t eat certain foods suffer a great deal. It’s difficult to attend a children’s gathering and not partake of the food everyone else is eating. This book goes a long way to educate the general population about a problem that is widespread. I received a copy of this book from the publisher and voluntarily decided to read and review with my honest opinions for no compensation.
