Food Allergy Book Wins Pinnacle Award
Flourishing with Food Allergies, by A. Anderson, won the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for best book in Health.
The subtitle of the book “Social, emotional and practical guidance for families with young children” sums the book up perfectly. With food allergies on the rise, Flourishing with Food Allergies is a great go-to book for those just newly diagnosed as well as those well versed in food allergy life.
The book includes the authors family story first, then goes on to cover the stories of 14 other families. The middle of the book covers theories, facts, and findings from genetically modified foods to food allergies and autism. The tail end of the book discusses potential solutions, diet and social situations from birthday parties to play dates as well as travel and airline guidelines.
The media hasn't always been kind in their portrayal of the food allergy community. This award celebrates all that food allergy writers and parents are trying to do—spread information, education and awareness.
