It seems as if everyone has developed an allergy these days. Even my children tend to have runny noses and sneezing early in the Spring and starting again in early Fall. Dr. Atul N. Shah brings us a book that can help you and your children understand your allergy and the choices you can make to rid yourself and live better. “Allergies, and Awesome You!” offers fun illustrations that teach your child that allergies do not have to be debilitating. There are also other subliminal messages that help them stay engaged and how to manage their allergy. Fun and informative, this is a book so many parents can use!
This book came for me to add to my classroom library just in time for allergy season. I see many of my students suffer from allergies and it's sometimes often mistaken for something else. I love how this book really explains what it means to have allergies and how to get diagnosed and how to treat them. After I read this aloud, I had many students ask if they could read it. I'm so happy when books come into my classroom that make a difference. This one was one of them. My students are learning not to be embarrassed by allergies.
Allergies, and Awesome You by Dr. Atul Shah is a perfect book for children of all ages. It can be a great stepping stone to teach children about allergies. It also helps children know about how to be tested for allergies at the Dr's office. The illustrations are very fun and cute. I also love the story. This book gets a thumbs up!!
"Allergies, and Awesome You" by Dr. Atul N. Shah (also known as The AmazingAllergist) is a story told through the eyes of an allergic child. This book will help put children at ease about allergies and the dreaded visits to the doctor. The story is told in a simple, easy to understand manner and is very child-friendly. Dr. Shah believes that "...with the right treatment plan, every allergic child has the potential to live a great life, allergy-free." "Allergies, and Awesome You" is part story, part hands-on activities, part resource guide. I think this is a great find for any child who struggles with allergies and for their parents. Dr. Shah, The AmazingAllergist, provides a wealth of information in this book which is sure to be of help to any family dealing with allergies.
***
The most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that nearly 40 percent of children in the U.S. suffer from nasal allergies, making it the third most common chronic disease among people under the age of 18.
How many of these children suffer from untreated symptoms? Too many, according to Dr. Atul Shah, a prominent allergist who has personally treated more than 20,000 patients. His new, interactive children’s book, Allergies, and Awesome You: Believe You Can Get There Too!, educates, empowers and entertains kids about allergy facts, symptoms and treatments.
“I have seen numerous allergic children and their parents living with compromised quality of lives,” Shah said. “I strongly believe that with the right treatment plan, every allergic child has the potential to live a great life, allergy-free.”
Shah’s compassionate approach to treating allergy symptoms lead to his nickname, the AmazingAllergist, which was given to him by patients and fellow practitioners.
Because doctor’s visits can be a scary thing for kids, reading Allergies, and Awesome You can help reduce anxiety and prepare children for what to expect during an initial visit to an allergist and through the diagnostic and treatment processes.
With an illustrated story in the front and useful, hands-on activities appropriate for kids and parents alike in the back, Allergies, and Awesome You empowers allergic children with the knowledge that they can live healthy, happy lives.
