Sam's in a jam when his classmates work on a project using peanut butter. Sam is allergic to peanuts! This delightful story promotes understanding, tolerance and sensitivity to the seriousness of allergies and other health issues.
Reviewers have said:
The Peanut Butter Jam is a wonderful story that provides great insight into what it is like to live with a peanut allergy. Sam's day at school is reminiscent of what hundreds of peanut allergic children face each day. It provides a life-like account of what can happen during an anaphylactic reaction to peanut and how a well-prepared school should respond. Elizabeth Sussman Nassau obviously has "been there" and in The Peanut Butter Jam has provided an entertaining story for children and educational primer for adults. It is a "must" read for families with food allergic children and educators with food allergic students.
