Most sheep will eat almost anything they come across, whether it's good for them or not. Woolfred, however, has a delicate system. He cannot eat dandelions. It isn't fair--the other sheep can eat whatever they want. He knows what will happen if he eats them, but still all Woolfred can think about is dandelions, dandelions, dandelions! Eventually Woolfred discovers that focusing on what's missing can mean not seeing the good things in life...even when they are right in front of you.
A Note to Parents and Caregivers by Frank Sileo, PhD, offers information and strategies for developing an emotionally healthy attitude about living with food intolerances.
"
Woolfred Cannot Eat Dandelions is a wonderful and beautifully illustrated story that helps to explain food intolerances to children. Claudine Crangle captures the essence of 'being true to your tummy." --Cynthia Rudert, MD; Medical Advisor, Celiac Disease Foundation and Gluten Intolerance Group; Medical Director, Gluten Intolerance Group of Atlanta
