As you know – myself and my daughter have celiac disease and she is just now getting to that age where she is going to be venturing out into school and birthday parties as well as her older brother. I have been talking with them lately about what celiac disease is, what gluten is and trying to put it into words that they understand. I know this conversation is going to be an ongoing one – as they grow older and start to understand a lot more.
Earlier last week I was given the opportunity to read the book “Mommy, What is Celiac Disease” a book for children written and illustrated by Katie Chalmers about celiac disease and the gluten free diet.
The information in the book was well directed to children. The main questions were answered in a way a child would understand and this book does not scare children – it is aimed to do quite the opposite and promotes a positive outlook for children and their families. The information is aimed to the United States labeling laws as it does not mention oats as being a gluten-containing grain, but does have a wonderful dialogue on what happens to your body when you eat gluten. This book addresses the role of the whole family in eating with the new diet – and attacks it from the angle of a new adventure – something fun and new for the whole family to do. I love that!
Now the fun for YOU! Just in time for the holidays YOU can win 1 of 10 holiday gift bags loaded with gluten-free goodies & treats for children & adults with celiac disease, plus a signed copy of Mommy, What is Celiac Disease? courtesy of Katie Chalmers, Author and Illustrator of the book.

Really great review, Devan. It's wonderful to hear a review from the perspective of a mom of a child with celiac. I know Katie's book will help many. I'm so happy to be part of this event with Katie, you, and all the others!
Hugs,
Shirley
