Thank you to the North South Books and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. This important book highlights celiac disease and in a child-friendly language explains what it is and what could be done to help someone who has it. A great book to have at home and school as more people wonder about the gluten free diet and become aware of celiac disease.

I have several adult friends who are allergic to gluten and eating outside their home is always risky. I can't imagine how a child would deal with this and I think it's wonderful that this entertaining book can shed a light on the difficulties.

It's a good cute book that helps explain celiac disease in a really simple and accessible way for kids. It really helps emphasize the importance of standing up for your dietary needs which more kids need to understand, The illustrations are easy to look at and are cute. I do like that there is also information for adults who around kids in this book as well. I think this would definitely be a good book for kids with celiac but especially kids without celiac disease.

This is great book and educational for all kids and adults who read it. It must be very hard for children with celiac disease to feel normal but reading this book makes them seem powerful!

This was a cute story about a girl struggling with Celiac and how she learns to live with it despite all the struggles it comes along with.
The characters were charming and Lila me and the illustrations are adorable.
I’ve got a couple friends whose children also struggle with Celiac and it’ll make the perfect gift for them once it is published!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Summary: "Violet used to love birthday parties, but now that she has celiac 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 realizes she can do the same for herself. And when it's time to celebrate Violet's birthday, there isn't 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."

Violet and the Crumbs: A Gluten-Free Adventure is a wonderful and essential children's book and brings awareness to celiac disease. Violet deals with her diagnosis but shows perseverance in creating a "new normal" for herself and those around her.

It's uplifting, hopeful, and embodies a more profound message of self-acceptance and health.

Every child should read this, and it should be in schools to bring awareness to learn more about celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is a book that would be really good to start a discussion with children. It explains so simply about what gluten intolerance is, and the challenges for children who have to be careful not to eat gluten. It's really relatable in the way that they start from the point of view of animals. Although it is written as a short story, much of the book is a collection of facts and information that is presented in a very clear way.

Thank you Netgalley for the early copy of this book!

I think this book is super important to have around as celiac disease has been around for a long time, it's a term becoming much more common and people need to be pretty cautious about it as it can easily become something very harmful with the smallest bit of contamination. This book has made it very easy to explain to kids the issue of why some kids may struggle with foods that are super common to be in their diets due to the gluten. It also is amazing by showing what ingredients are that contain gluten and also shows some ingredients that make good replacements for celiac's. I also think it's good to show that a character stood up for their health and even had friends learn about the issue and work to help assure that everything is safely separated to avoid illnesses.

This book is a beautiful representation and is an excellent source to try and have kids learn and get all the basic information in a short and fun story.

A must read and a must have to make ourselves more aware and informed about Celiac Disease.

The storybook gives a complete representation of a girl having the said condition and how she struggles each day when it comes to her strict diet without gluten. It also focuses on how people react and misunderstanding the condition.

I love how action oriented the book is. I love the illustrations as well.

A must read I repeat.

Thank you, North South Books Inc and the author/artist, for the advance reading copy.
