Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to help parents and teachers to educate all young kids on the importance of food allergies and to increase their sensitivity and compassion towards those who face this critical illness daily.
I wrote "Penny and the Peanut" as a medical guide to help all kids and parents with and without food allergies to understand this life-threatening condition. The book illustrates to children what to do in the event of an emergency in the absence of an adult to help save lives.
