Suitable for: 2 – 10 year-olds

The birthday books portray food allergies in a non-threatening way, in simple language so young children can understand.

The birthday book has several Key Teaching Points

What Parents are Saying About the Program


review

‘I absolutely loved the book “Thai goes to a birthday party”. I found that the information in the book was very well written and was easy to read to my two-year-old daughter. The bright and appealing illustrations really engage my daughter’s attention too.

review

After reading the book for about the 25th time, I asked her why she liked it. She explained to me that she loves how Thai doesn’t have to miss out on anything at the party (his mum has pre-prepared everything that is needed) and that because everyone looks out for him he can be normal too. My daughter is only 3 years old.
Sometimes your kids are so much smarter than you give them credit for.

review

Thank you to both you and Thai for bringing enjoyment to educating our daughter about something so serious.
