Seven Books for Kids with Asthma
a book list by Leah Smith, librarian and avid reader
shelved under
Children's Books and
Health & Medicine
I read all of these books as an adult. I have had asthma and allergies since I was a child, and they didn’t have books like these then. It’s hard having asthma at any time of life, but especially when you are a child. These titles would have made a world of difference in my acceptance at not being able do some of the things my friends did.
Aaron's Awful Allergies
by Troon Harrison, illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes
Aaron has allergies and because of this he has to find new homes for his pets.
The ABCs of Asthma: An Asthma Alphabet Book for Kids of All Ages
by Kim Gosselin, illustrated by Terry Ravanelli
Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a word that has something to do with asthma.
Brianna Breathes Easy: A Story About Asthma

Brianna is the lead in a school play, and she can't catch her breath during the dress rehearsal. After going to the hospital she is diagnosed with asthma.
Cody the Allergic Cow: A Children's Story of Milk Allergies
by Nicole Smith
The illustrations in this story of an allergic cow are really sweet.
Taking Asthma to School
by Kim Gosselin, illustrated by Moss Freedman
This book lets children know that it isn't someone's fault that they have a disease. I also liked the tips for teachers and kids.

This is an adorable story. A little boy has to go to the doctor to get tested for allergies and afterward he and a friend go to the zoo. The zoo trip turns into a scavenger hunt of sorts for dander, fur and other allergy triggers.
Flashlight Worthy
Recommending books so good, they'll keep you up past your bedtime.
