I truly enjoyed the storyline to this book. Young children are helped to understand asthma while using their imagination.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is a cute story. My son was recently diagnosed with asthma. While he doesn’t have to be on an inhaler nebulizer at this time, he does hate what asthma does to him. He has to stop running and wait until his medicine starts to work. We are able to read this book and talk a little about asthma (He’s 2) and about what it means for him. This book is a great one for reassuring little kids that they are ok, that others have this, and that soon they can play again.
The only reason I rated this a four instead of a five is that I think the text is a little stilted at times.
Rating: 4 / 5
My son is 2.5 and recently diagnosed with reactive airway disease. He really enjoys this book, and it has helped us talk to him about his breathing. Sometimes we ask him if he feels like the lion or if the lion is scared. It also seems to help when he doesn’t want to use his nebulizer.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a great book to help kids with Asthma realize that breathing treatments with a nebulizer are not always fun — but they can turn it into fun just like the boy in the book. My daughter had a different view of the required breathing treatments after reading this book. We were lucky enough to come across it at our local library but Santa might just have to bring it for Christmas this year!

I was so happy to find this book to read to my 2 year old! He doesn’t like the nebulizer mask and any picture with a child wearing one helps. A story of a little boy just like him is the icing on the cake! The simple facial expressions help my son relate to the feelings he has.
