Penny’s Review:
Eating Gluten-Free with Emily is a children's book that not only explains a
gluten-free diet, but also details Emily's digestive symptoms and the route
from doctor to blood draw to scope to get the diagnosis. The illustrations
are colorful and cute. The story, which is told from Emily's perspective,
explains celiac disease in a way that children understand, and gives
examples of what foods contain gluten and which ones do not. Emily also
explains how she deals with real-life situations, like camp and birthday
parties. My favorite line in the book comes from Emily and her mom when they
question restaurant staff: "We say, 'We are gluten detectives. Answer the
questions, please.'" This book has been helpful to my family in two ways. My
five year old daughter is autistic, and has been on a gluten free/casein
free diet for four years, and it has given her twin brother and older sister
a perspective of what a special diet is like for their sister. Additionally,
my elder daughter is about to see a pediatric gastroenterologist, to rule
out (or in?) celiac disease. This book has given us a wonderful opportunity
to talk about the process of going to the doctor and making dietary changes.
Seven year old Mikalea tells me she thinks this book is good because it
shows that Emily is just a regular kid who needs to eat special food.
