     This charming, illustrated children's story by Jax Peters Lowell, author
of AGAINST THE GRAIN and THE GLUTEN-FREE BIBLE (coming in February from Henry
Holt) with its real-life happy ending cupcake recipe and foreword by Alessio
Fasano, M.D. arrives just in time for the holidays!


     "Izzie wasn't very tall for seven.   Not even for six.   Or five.   Even
if she stood on her tippy, tippy toes, her pony tail just reached the top of
Daddy's chair..."

     So begins the tale of the little girl who believes that by eating lots
of cupcakes, she will get tall, maybe even tall enough to be a ballerina.   Too
many cupcakes cause a tummy ache and the trouble starts.   Learning to eat
gluten-free isn't a piece of cake until Izzie learns that being special is what
really makes us tall.   This delightful and emotionally honest tale, complete
with resources and a special gluten-free and lactose-free cupcake recipe
designed just for the book by Lee Tobin, mastermind behind the new Whole Foods
Market Gluten-Free Bakehouse will live in the hearts of parents and children for
the holidays and for years to come.

     Peggy Wagener, Publisher of Living Without Magazine calls it
"enchanting, beautifully written.   A tale to delight every child on a gluten-free diet."

     Dr. Fasano says Izzie O'Brien is "just what the doctor ordered."

     Elaine Monarch, Executive Director of the Celiac Disease Foundation
wishes, "If I had only known Izzie when a was a sick little banana baby."

     And Diane Paley, President of CSA says, "Jax has done it again!" and
calls Izzie "the soul of every celiac child who wants to belong."
