Product Description

Success has never tasted so good!

The dynamic duo of I Am a Thief by Abigail Rayner (author) and Molly Ruttan (illustrator) have created a new picture book sure to spark conversations about this timely issue.

Violet used to love birthday parties, but now that she has celiac disease, shes 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 realizes she can do the same for herself. And when its time to celebrate Violets birthday, there isnt a single gluten-containing crumb in sight!

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

This book has been approved by the Celiac Disease Foundation.

Review

Though a medical diagnosis makes social situations tough for a young girl, she finds a way to cope. After Violet learns she has celiac disease, birthday parties and school lunches are a drag. Her peers try to be understanding about how she cant partake in cakes and cookies, but what they dont understand is that gluten is everywhereeven the crumbs. Safe foods like fruit become off-limits as soon as someone handles them with fingers that previously touched gluten-filled snacks. Her protective measures leave her isolated at school, but Violet gradually becomes a bit of a superhero when she advocates for animals like ducks, who are often fed foods not suited to their digestive systems. But she still has to figure out a way to fit in with her classmates so she can make some friends. The protagonist is White, and the supporting cast is diverse in skin tone and ability. Accompanied by artwork rendered in a muted palette, the text balances Violets narrative with more scientific explanation without feeling preachy or didactic. Anyone who feeds other people would be well served by this tale. An illustrated glossary of gluten-full and gluten-free grains makes up the endpapers. Kids with celiac will feel seen. Kirkus Reviews

Rayners instructional picture book informs children about gluten while relating the tale of a girl who has celiac disease. Because any gluten will make Violet ill, even tiny crumbs, she must be vigilant in avoiding it and feels uncomfortable attending events where food is served. She doesnt want to make a big deal of her disease, but it sets her apart from the other kids, and they dont understand how serious it is. Violet figures out that by preparing and sharing some foods that taste good and are safe for her to eat, she can educate others about celiac disease and feel more secure in attending parties and other gatherings. Intriguing artwork deftly illustrates Violet's dilemma. The book begins with Grains That Contain Gluten, an illustrated list of the grains and some products in which they are included. More information can be found at the conclusion of Violets story in an About Celiac Disease section and a listing of grains, starches, and flours that are safe for people who share her illness.
