The Longer Reason

Violet used to love birthday parties, but now that she has coeliac disease, she’s not allowed to eat pizza, cake, or anything else with gluten. Violet feels alone until she discovers that some animals have dietary restrictions as well. While standing up for her animal friends, she realises she can do the same for herself.  When it’s time to celebrate Violet’s birthday, there isn’t a single gluten-containing crumb in sight! 

Filled with pluck and humour, this informative story provides a great opportunity to discuss this increasingly common condition with children who have coeliac disease and gluten-intolerance as well as those who know people who have it and are seeking to learn more.
