Cystic Fibrosis

 

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.
