THE DAY I MET THE NUTS...
...is not only a food allergy story; it is a book for any child who has ever had to encounter a scary challenge or major change in his or her life. This story sprinkles in a little seriousness, stirs around some humor, and tosses up big imagination to serve one empowering story that will help and entertain children for generations. And parents and children can feel good about reading this story, knowing that portions of the proceeds from every book sold support Dr. Robert Wood of Johns Hopkins in his efforts to find a cure for food allergies.
