THE DAY I MET THE NUTS
THE DAY I MET THE NUTS is not only a food allergy story; it is a book for any child who has ever had to encounter a scary challenge or major change in his or her life. This story sprinkles in a little seriousness, stirs around some humor, and tosses up big imagination to serve one empowering story that will help and entertain children for generations. And parents and children can feel good about reading this story, knowing that portions of the proceeds from books sold support Dr. Wood in his Cause for a Cure.  Read about it here:  Investing in Food Allergy Research for an Allergy-Free Adulthood.  
 
 

                                             

 
What people are saying:
  
"It spoke to my daughter so much that I couldn't tear it away from her hands! She read it over and over, about 8 times that day (Saturday). Thanks for a wonderfully written book allergic kids can relate too!"
                                              ~Thanita Glancey, Member of Loudoun Allergy Network 
 
"The book is a great little story of a boy who has a reaction to nuts at a birthday party and comes to understand he will need to avoid nuts for the rest of his life. He goes through disappointment and anger on his way to understanding and acceptance, helped along by supportive friends and members of his community.   I keep trying to convey what this book shows, that eating a certain way is not a sentence to a less-than life. It does require careful attention, but the goal is health and happiness. We all have different needs to be our best selves. I'm glad that we'll have this book to turn to address our own issues or to help him understand about other friends' allergies.  Thanks to author Mary for a great contribution to our library!”

The book introduces kids to nut allergies through a fun and beautifully illustrated story.  Mary was a joy to meet -- so passionate about her work creating books that will inspire and teach young kids while doing good in the world.”

The child you know with nut allergies can take this magnet anywhere and everywhere. Place it on any refrigerator or magnetic surface as a reminder to those serving food. All that is required is a permanent pen to write in your child's name!
