Luca the Lion Who Couldn't Eat Meat

What a lovely book written by a mother whose little boy suffers from allergies. This wonderful book will help children understand that not everyone is the same but different in many ways . in Luca's case its a food allergy.beautifully illustrated with a story everyone can related to and help children to not feel different because of an allergy or disability . lets hope this author continues to do well , i'm sure there will more tales From Tersha Cutmore and her son Luca.

Both of my boys have severe eczema, asthma and allergies so they have always missed out on foods, parties and public food places. At the time there was certainly a feeling of lonliness and isolation. It's so lovely to have a book written so beautifully in a way that a child can understand, one that makes them feel included and one that makes them realise that others have similar problems. For Luca the Lion, he was being consumed by his problem for a while and was missing out on the good things around him - with encouragement from his friends he learnt that it wasn't so bad - after all there were lots of things he COULD do... like playing. It's for adults too! We could all take a leaf out of this book, take our attention away from the things we don't have and give thanks for the blessings we DO have in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful book. The illustrations are beautiful and it's written with caring rhyming words that I'm sure will resonate with children (and adults) for years to come. I salute the author Tersha for taking a very difficult situation and using it to reach out to others. Highly recommended. x

And a great way to help others understand what it is like to live with them.Tercha’s book is beautifully written and the illustrations by Victoria Ward-Fowler are gorgeous.It takes us through the feelings of children who have to watch others eating whatever they like, while they have to have something different.The story, in rhyme, manages to help children not feel so alone with their allergy; while at the same time explaining to those who don’t have any to understand and empathise.We are encouraged to focus on the things we can do, eat etc and not dwell on the things we can’t.

Fantastic children's book that explains allergies on a child's level. I read it to my class and they really enjoyed it. It really helped them to understand what allergies are and who some of their peers can't eat or drink certain things. Beautifully illustrated too. Highly recommended and very speedy delivery.

Thank you so much for this lovely Book. So very fitting & comforting for my Boy 💙Arrived earlier than expected. Highly recommend 😊

Saw this book online and got ourselves a copy. Lovely story about Luca and his family and friends and a variety of allergies which they have. Good to read to your child and for them to read with you. We lent our copy to school to explain things too.

My children are not allergic to anything but this still is a lovely book to read and understand each other. Help to learn that it’s ok to be different. Beautifully written , we love the rhymes , and full of beautiful pictures. Arrived earlier then expected.

I seen this book posted on one of the Allergy mums Instagrams I follow so decided to go and Order this book and I am so glad I did! My son who is 3 suffers from a Servre egg allergy and didnt really understand allergies but this book has helped him so much! It is now his favourite book to read at bedtime. It is lovely wrote and lovely to read with my son. I would Highly Recommend this book to anyone who has a child with an allergy to help them no they arent in this alone
