The Prince's Armor: A Peanut Allergy Awareness Story

He is just like any other kid. And then one day, out of the blue, comes the surprising diagnosis. A serious peanut allergy! Suddenly his life turns upside-down, with a whole lot of restrictions! He feels anxious, confused and frustrated! Will he be able to keep himself safe while doing all the things he loves? Find out if Little Prince emerges strong and triumphant!

The Prince's Armor juxtaposes an interactive story with objective analysis of practical scenarios in which children with a peanut allergy are likely to find themselves. Readers learn to:

• implement strategies for identifying the presence of peanuts in everyday situations;
• acknowledge and understand challenging emotions when confronted with difficult choices, related to food allergy;
• brainstorm what they themselves can do to minimize chances of ingesting peanut allergens in community settings by making wise choices to ensure their own safety.
