Must-Read Adult and Children’s Books on Food Allergies & Disabilities

I’ve read all the books on this list and compiled it with love, knowing they’re all worth your time. I personally trust these recommendations and hope you do too!

I start by checking my local library through Libby to see if they’re available, and from there, I turn to my local bookstores. I try to avoid buying from Amazon as much as I can, and I tend to skip used books only because I worry about potential cross-contact with allergens from the book’s past.

Got any questions? Or maybe some recommendations of your own? I love to read, and I’m always on the lookout for more great books!
