APPEALS TO: SOME

Mitchell has had eczema since he was a baby. He knows what to do to manage it. Some kids say mean things about his eczema. But the most important thing is that Mitchell is more than his eczema - he likes soccer, fishing and being with his friends.

This would be a great book to have if you have students struggling with eczema. Kelly shows a balance between managing the eczema and also being a regular kid. Jones’s illustrations are fun and engaging. The back matter includes helpful eczema tips. Mitchell is white.
