Adam's Gluten Free Surprise: Helping Others Understand Gluten Free

Help teachers, grandparents, and other family members understand what it means to be gluten free for our kids who need to be gluten free.

Special dietary requirements can leave some children out of food related treats and special events. This children's book helps the adult reader understand the importance of pre-planning and communication so that no child is left out. Children with special dietary requirements may need to eat differently, but they should never be left out completely.

From the first day of school through Valentine's Day, this book helps the reader understand gluten free through various classroom situations: surprise donuts on the first day of school, birthday cupcakes, ice cream cone crumbs that contaminate the gluten-free ice cream, a classroom pizza party, and a Thanksgiving feast.

Adam provides children a positive role model with his accepting attitude and with his ability to speak up for his needs. But Adam also shows the reader the natural sad emotions that arise when he's unable to share foods with peers, helping to increase empathy and understanding in the reader of this book.
