“An engaging story to help parents explain a complex disease in a simple
fashion to children. This story reminds us that even with celiac disease our
children can enjoy life and return to full health on a strict gluten-free diet.”

“This is a really terrific book that will help children understand their disease
and how they can enjoy their life and learn that celiac disease will not
interfere with this enjoyment at all.  The book is highly recommended for
children with celiac disease, their siblings and parents.  It is a must for the
family with celiac disease.”

“An easy to understand book that helps your child and your child’s caregivers
to better understand celiac disease. It explains that following a gluten-free
lifestyle is the only way that will make them feel well — all of the time.”

-Elaine Monarch, Founder/Executive Director
Celiac Disease Foundation


“For children with celiac to successfully manage a gluten-free diet and
maintain a health lifestyle, early education and encouragement is simply
essential. In that spirit, ‘Mommy, What Is Celiac Disease?’ is as much a
delightfully entertaining story, as it is a wonderful learning tool. Through
positive dialogue and captivating illustrations, this book can help kids of all
ages understand their diet and feel empowered to restore their health and
reclaim their lives!”

-Alice Bast, President and Founder,
National Foundation for Celiac Awareness
(NFCA)


“I found this to be a perfectly delightful book. Living with celiac disease really
is like a walk in the park when approached as a family. Katie Chalmers
insightfully introduces children to celiac disease with a focus on responsibility,
family support and positive attitudes. The illustrations draw readers of all
ages into the story.”

-Mary Schluckebier, Executive Director,
Celiac Sprue Association (CSA)


“This is a great book! The illustrations are wonderful and the analogies
absolutely fabulous. It sends such a positive message for both children and
their parents. It is a wonderful resource and sends the message that children
can be positive ambassadors for their own health and great role models for
other kids.”
