This is a book that should be in each school and will be invaluable for parents too-- Healthy Books
Lesley Mills offers a medically accurate, age appropriate and accessible way for children, parents and teachers to learn more about asthma. With Rosy Salaman's delightful illustrations, young Alfie comes alive as our guide and teacher. As Alfie says so well, "I think most people would like to help, but they just don't know the right thing to do." Lesley Mills generously shares her wisdom through Alfie, so that we will all know the right things to do and to say when it comes to asthma. I highly recommend this resource to everyone on both sides of the Atlantic. -- Robert Oliphant, President, Asthma Society of Canada
