A young boy finds out he is allergic to The Nuts at his best friend's birthday party. When the doctor tells him, "You + nuts = disaster," the boy worries that he will never be able to eat good food again. The Nuts, he finds out, are a sneaky bunch and hide out in many types of yummy treats. How will he ever get rid of The Nuts? And why won't they just take a vacation? The Day I Met The Nuts is not only a food allergy story; it is a book for any child who has ever had to encounter a scary challenge or major change in his or her life. This story sprinkles in a little seriousness, stirs around some humor, and tosses up big imagination to serve one empowering story that will help and entertain children for generations. And parents and children can feel good about reading this story, knowing that portions of the proceeds from every book sold support The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN).
