Company description::
NORFOLK, MA-James was helping his mother prepare a lobster dinner one evening when suddenly his entire body became covered with hives. Robyn Rogers rushed her five-year-old to the hospital where it was soon learned that he was suffering from a severe allergic reaction to the seafood.
After the emergency passed, Robyn tried to learn as much as she could about the food allergies. She read a lot of books for adults but was surprised to discover there were very few written for children, despite the fact that an estimated two million school-age children in the U.S. live with food-related sensitivities. Robyn desperately wanted something she could read to little James to explain to him what was happening to him.
She remedied that by writing No Lobster, Please! and having her son's classmates draw the illustrations. "I know the book helped James better understand the problems he's facing," says Robyn, "but it's my hope that now it will help educate other children and parents as well."
No Lobster, Please! has been highly acclaimed by fellow food allergy sufferers and has been endorsed by leading medical experts across the country. Stanley Fineman, MD, MBA, of the Atlanta Allergy and Asthma Clinic, writes in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (October 2003) that No Lobster, Please! "…is sure to be a helpful tool for any family with children with food allergies."
Don Mitchell, a top reviewer at Amazon.com, says that No Lobster, Please! could benefit children with other allergic sensitivities as well. "In fact," writes Don Mitchell, "most such problems would seem like a relief compared to what James has to go through." Mitchell adds, "The best part to me is that the book shows how to take a child's 'special' problem and turn it into an opportunity to make a child feel special."
