Children, along with their parents, siblings, extended family, as well as friends and teachers, are given a glimpse into what it's like to live with eczema.

By telling their story in such an accessible and engaging manner Julie and Helen are helping millions of children living with eczema and I am truly grateful to them. from the foreword by Margaret Cox, Chief Executive, National Eczema Society, UK This is a really excellent book, which explains in easily understood terms some of the everyday problems faced by someone with eczema.
