What other readers have said...
It is the best children's book on Celiac I have read. I believe adults will benefit from it also, as many of them just don't understand the technical terms of Celiac. Thank you for putting so much time into this book for the Celiac community.

Our family loved the story of Cooper's Celiac diagnosis, and the change in his whole family's diet in Melanie Krumrey's book Bagels, Buddy, and Me. It was wonderful for all of us to find a family like ours in a book! Finding a book that talks about Celiac, kids, and the yummy treats you can have even if you are gluten-free was wonderful for us. If your family is dealing with Celiac Disease or if you know people who are dealing with Celiac, I highly recommend picking up a copy!
