        Today's kids with food allergies are an entirely new--and vulnerable--demographic. Allergic reactions do not only cause discomfort, they can be deadly, within minutes. Hypervigilance is the name of the game, and Schwartz (columnist, Allergic Living), who suffers from food allergies herself, presents just that--an extremely watchful approach to life for people with these conditions, covering everything from early symptoms and diagnosis to managing family gatherings and working with schools. Of great importance is teaching kids to advocate for themselves, but instructing young ones to decipher nutrition labels or decline the birthday cake is no easy feat. Verdict From EpiPens to which grocery chains stock the most allergy-safe food, Schwartz presents a thorough process for safeguarding child and home. Appended recipes are a bonus. Recommended for parenting and education collections.
