Throughout the book, Erin’s superhero shares facts on alpha-gal in a non-fearful way, including important messages on social situations, substitutions, and being prepared for reactions. Tune in to Erin’s story to hear about the inspiration behind creating an uplifting and informative picture book for kids of all ages about AGS and food allergies.
