Description

Carol, the squirrel, wants to enjoy the peanuts that everyone else is eating. The only problem is when she eats one she has a terrible reaction to it. A squirrel with a peanut allergy? Find out what she does in this delightful story to help children deal with food allergies.

A female squirrel, I called Stella, would come by the house after the kids would get on the bus and I would feed her peanuts. One day she showed up with large lump on her face. I thought it was a growth, but it disappeared after a couple of weeks. The kids asked what it was, and I jokingly said, "I don't know, maybe she has allergies." Well, not long after that, I started writing this book. I knew many children that struggled with food allergies, and thought they might enjoy the story of a squirrel, who had the same problem.
