excellent book for kids with asthma
review by briannas auntie
I bought this book the same time I bought Alden Carter's other book "I'm Tougher Than Diabetes". I thought that the kids I babysit would really enjoy this true story.
I'm Tougher Than Asthma is a true story about Siri. She likes toads, books, and hanging out with friends, despite having asthma. The book describes how Siri takes her inhaler medicine, what causes asthma, how her asthma began and how scared she was, and what happens when she has an asthma attack. Siri also talks about stuff she is allergic to like dander and house dust mites. Her family makes sure they clean the house and her bedding regularly to keep her allergies under control. One thing I liked in the book is that she also tell other kids of famous people with asthma, like Theodore Rosevelt.
At the end of the book is a frequently asked question section and reference/resource page.
Overall, I'm Tougher Than Asthma is a great book for a child who has asthma and wants to see other kids just like them. I used to babysit a child with asthma and he loved this book, because everything about Siri was what he goes through everyday.
