 Taking
Cystic Fibrosis to School - Even though Jessie has cystic fibrosis,
she can still attend school and do many of the same things as her
classmates. Written from Jessie's perspective, this book explains
and educates her classmates about her condition. Jessie explains
to her classmates what cystic fibrosis is and tells them that it
feels like "elephants dancing on her chest." She has to cough a
lot, but she explains how it actually helps her. Jessie shows the
class how her parents help her to keep her lungs clear. Designed
to help kids better understand their classmates with cystic fibrosis,
this brightly illustrated picture book also educates families, teachers,
school nurses, parents, and caregivers. A quiz for kids and tips
for teachers are included.
