My 9 yo CFer loved it!
Good intro to CF. there are many advances in CF therapy every year, so this book needs to be updated. Some of the information is wrong.

Good to know what your kid is going through
Good book. Good to know what your kid is going through. It is not exactly what is going on in my students life but it was very close.

Great resource for parents and fun for kids
As a parent educator and a mom of 2 kids with cystic fibrosis, I can’t say enough about this book and the whole series in fact (there is one for diabetes, asthma and many other conditions). Young children learn best from pictures and the artwork in this is great. There is nothing “scary” in it about having CF, it is informative, matter-of-fact and hopeful.My own two children (with CF) loved it when they were younger and received a black and white version from the CF clinic as a coloring book. I highly recommend it for younger children with CF and their siblings.For a parenting book about how to raise kids who have CF and other health issues, see: Parenting Children With Health Issues: Essential Tools, Tips, and Tactics for Raising Kids With Chronic Illness, Medical Conditions, and Special Healthcare Needs

Informative and a great read for kids
This book is terrific. It is great for any child that is in the beginning years of school. It educates the reader about cystic fibrosis and assists children in dealing with classmates or friends who may have cystic fibrosis. My seven year old son thought it was informative and fun to read. There should be more books of this kind.

Perfect for young children
This book discussing Cystic fibrosis is perfect for my granddaughter to share with her classroom (kindergaden), & i imaging it will work for several years to help explain hee condition to her classmates.

My daughter starts school next year and more so recently has been learning more about her body, illness and how to care for it as she becomes more receptive with age. She wont stop talking about school since her little friend started this year and she has read this everyday since we’ve got it. I can solidly say its C.F. Kid Approved 😅. Enjoy!
