Four-year-old York girl with allergies inspires health book for children

The book aims to explain to young children what a food allergy is and how to avoid possible dangers.

Mrs. Buck is a friend of Willow’s grandfather, who bought two copies of her previous book for his grandchildren.

She told the BBC: “When I signed them and gave them to the children – and Rachel saw them, she said I wish someone would write a book about allergies.”

Ms Buck said she didn’t have “a lot” of knowledge on the subject and started researching allergies online.

She said: “I thought, we have to do something: write a book, get the message out there to raise awareness and see if we can help all these kids.”
