"Just like me"

Such an informative story. My youngest had to go gluten free after over a year of tests and biopsies. He doesn't have celiac but rather IBS ( which for him has all the same symptoms) and can't havengluten because of that. As I was reading this book to him he exclaimed "Where did you find this book written about me?!" Reading this book really felt.like we were reading about him.

Me as an 11 year old, the age the author was when she wrote this book helps me relate to her. Good for kids who feel insecure about Celiac Disease.
