"“With one in five children living with eczema, Mitchell Itches will be a valuable resource for those looking to better understand and manage this common condition. .” * Books+Publishing * “Author Kristin Kelly pens a terrific, heartwarming story about a subject criminally underacknowledged in children's books - so many kids live with eczema or skin conditions (I Have personal family history of it myself) and this book is a fantastic resource to help those kids know they are not alone! Children or adults with eczema will take away from the tried-and-tested methods Mitchell uses in the story to control his eczema (there is even an addendum at the end of the story with tips for kids on how to manage the condition). But most importantly, the story focuses on finding your own joy and passion and inspires kids to follow their dreams and take part in activities they love, to never give up or let yourself be limited by anything. Kelly's text is bright and warmly embracing and she brings a lovable character alive in Mitchell who the readers will root for. Coupled with Amelina Jones' evocative illustrations, which bring vibrancy and colourful in creating the world of the story, Mitchell Itches is a fantastic story ideal for kids with eczema but also any kids who like a terrific book. This one is ideal for all teachers and parents to bring into the classroom or home to begin discussions. Thank you Kristin Kelly and Amelina Jones for creating a superb, winsome story with a fresh take on a much-needed topic in children's books today. Highly recommended."" -- Brenton Cullen * Kids Books Review * “This is a success story. One that will speak and offer hope to many sufferers of eczema and allergies, who feel their lives can never be normal. Mitchell Itches is a wonderful example of what you have, doesn’t define who you can become. Amelina Jones’ luxurious and expressive, full-page illustrations, are entertaining and beautifully support Kristen Kelly’s well-researched, clever, and humorous text”. * Kids’ Book Review * “This is a sweet educational book targeted at children who suffer from eczema with fun and engaging illustrations by Amelina Jones. It includes an appendix page of facts about managing eczema as a useful reference for parents.” * Buzz Words *"
