As a parent educator and a mom of 2 kids with cystic fibrosis, I can't say enough about this book and the whole series in fact (there is one for diabetes, asthma and many other conditions). Young children learn best from pictures and the artwork in this is great. There is nothing "scary" in it about having CF, it is informative, matter-of-fact and hopeful. My own two children (with CF) loved it when they were younger and received a black and white version from the CF clinic as a coloring book. I highly recommend it for younger children with CF and their siblings. For a parenting book about how to raise kids who have CF and other health issues, see: Parenting Children With Health Issues: Essential Tools, Tips, and Tactics for Raising Kids With Chronic Illness, Medical Conditions, and Special Healthcare Needs

This book is terrific. It is great for any child that is in the beginning years of school. It educates the reader about cystic fibrosis and assists children in dealing with classmates or friends who may have cystic fibrosis. My seven year old son thought it was informative and fun to read. There should be more books of this kind.
