"A book to help spawn conversations about allergies and the people who have them."
--Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production

Food sensitivity and allergies time! There aren't a ton of picture books on the market that speak to this and, bonus, this book comes with a with a yummy dairy-free cake recipe. In this story, it's Mo the mouse's birthday and, to celebrate at his party, everyone brings the cheesiest possible treats. Fondu, chesse-tastic pie, etc. The problem? Mo is super stressed because he can't eat any of that. When he does tell his friends they feel bad and leave... but then come back with a diary-free chocolate cake. A book to help spawn conversations about allergies and the people who have them.--Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production
