Can I Tell you about Asthma? A guide for friends, family and professionals

By Lesley Mills (Jessica Kingsley, 7.99, ISBN 9781849053501)

This provides a matter-of-fact account from the perspective of Alfie of what it's like to have asthma and how to cope with it in everyday life. He talks about the importance of his friends and family recognising the signs when he starts feeling short of breath and knowing how to help. It also explores basic asthma diagnosis, discussing the triggers and medicines.

With its engaging illustrations, this is a book that can be used to help young children gain a clearer understanding of the condition.
