"My food allergy will not define me, I can be anyone I want to be!" Eddie is a fabulous elephant who is joining the midtown zoo family. Eddie is allergic to peanuts and when he arrives at the midtown zoo he meets other animals who also have a food allergy. They share experiences and all agree that while a food allergy may limit what they can eat it does not limit what they can do or who they can be. This is an easy to read, empowering book for young children that reinforces the emotional and positive strength inside each of us to embrace what makes us unique. The author has grandchildren with food allergies and has dedicated this book to the moms, dads, teachers, families, doctors, and caregivers who work tirelessly to make sure a food allergy doesn't define what a child can do or who they can become.
