With its light-hearted, engaging illustrations and allergy friendly language, this book is a perfect introduction to empower children to take care of their bodies when they have a food allergy. Follow Robbie, from Sugar Bugs, as he takes care to protect himself from any peanuts. Robbie always washes his hands before he eats, reads food labels, and asks about the ingredients.

As he has an allergic reaction, he learns how to get help from his teachers, and how his Histamines step up to protect him.

Review Quotes

"After reading Sugar Bugs, my patients are choosing their foods more wisely, taking brushing more seriously, and even grasping the concept of spitting so as to 'spit out the sugar bugs'." --Dr. Kristin Elliot DDS, Growing Smiles

"After reading this book, my children were on a mission to brush their teeth and get rid of the Sugar Bugs. This book talks about a very important subject in a fun and creative way. I have a 2 and a half year old and a 4 year old. Both kids understood the idea of Sugar Bugs and now understand the importance of good dental hygiene. I HIGHLY recommend this book!!" --Carly Humes, Educator and Parent

"The Illinois Holocaust Museum hosted Mrs. Weisz for a family program, and it was a rousing success! Families gathered for a reading of her book A Thousand and One Words, and her expressive language and clever illustrations drew in audience members of all ages. Family members then created art projects exploring body language, emotions, and empathy. Mrs. Weisz created a lively, engaging environment for families to interact and have fun, with lots of learning along the way. It was a terrific afternoon for everyone!" --Amanda Friedeman, Illinois Holocaust Museum
