A good book can take you anywhere. It can educate, inspire, encourage and yes, even help navigate ones life.

Since we’re celebrating Read Across America week, I think it’s the best time to share with you this list of 20 food allergy themed children’s books to read your kids. Each book contains simple explanation on what allergies are, the struggles of having it, how to manage this different lifestyle and the importance of everyone’s support.

Whether you are dealing with allergies or not, these books are good additions to you and your children’s story time. Filled with colorful illustrations, simple facts and real life scenarios, your child will surely find a character whom they can relate too.
