EATING GAVIN'S WAY by Theresa J. Gonsalves (Children?s Non-Fiction) - "Gavin Young is eight years old and allergic to oats, dairy, eggs, nuts, soy and wheat...anything that comes from a cow, yes that's right no red meat!" Eating is what helps us survive. It's something we must do every day! Imagine how hard daily life is for Gavin and his family. EATING GAVIN'S WAY introduces you to life for the Young family as they deal with the many food allergies Gavin and his brother Jacob are afflicted with. It is written for children as well as adults to help children understand why they can't share their lunch with Gavin! It shows how the Young family deals with life situations like holidays, school, birthday parties and other events where food is served. The author writes on behalf of Gavin, "The doctor gave us an Epi-pen! That's a needle filled with lifesaving medicine!" Written with rhymes and beautifully illustrated by Kathy Garren, EATING GAVIN'S WAY is a fun, easy to read book that will help those dealing with allergies and help those without them get a better understanding.
