Filed in archive Food Allergies , Living with Allergies on March 19, 2010

There is a new children's series created by Cindy Rice-Andrea which aims to deliver food safety information through its lovable characters, colorful illustrations, and easy to understand principles: Green Apple Tales.

The complete set of Green Apple Tales contains 10 books. One in particular, The Allergy Buddy Club, discusses the most common types of food allergies children have and how to live with them.

From Food Safety News:

Not only is the Allergy Buddy Club fun to read, but it also teaches children how to check for ingredients on the back of food packages, as well as how to make an allergy card. Allergy cards allow the characters to safely eat at restaurants by alerting the chef to ingredients they are allergic to.

In each book the characters enjoy a different type of food, with the recipe for each found at the end of the story. At the end of the Allergy Buddy Club, information is provided regarding the most common types of food allergies and how children can make sure they don't consume the foods they are allergic to.

You can get The Allergy Buddy Club from the Green Apple Tales Online Store. If your kids have food allergies, this is one resource book that they can truly appreciate and learn from.
