Sold Out $10.95

A children's book with a positive message and emphasis on what Michael CAN still do with eczema!

Overview:

Michael is a four-year-old boy who lives in London and loves playing with water but can not do so while he is suffering from eczema and his parents and doctors are trying to discover what is causing the itchiness and what allergy he has. In the meantime, he must not scratch. The water in public fountains has chlorine and affects his condition, he is given many alternatives to do other sports, activities or play in the park while he recovers and is able to happily jump back in the swimming pool. The book gives a positive outlook with an emphasis on what Michael CAN still do and eat rather than making the child a victim of his itchy skin.

About the Author - M Alatorre Guzmán

Marcela wrote the book when her eldest son finally finished five difficult years suffering from Eczema. The book is what she needed for her son, in order to have emotional support and be able to relate to another boy's story. They also needed understanding from classmates, relatives, and teachers. However, such a book did not exist. Mrs. Alatorre presented the sketches to their pediatric dermatologist in London who was very pleased and requested to have it published in order to help children going through the condition.

Marcela Alatorre is originally from México, she is a consultant in consumer behavior analysis and international marketing. She has painted from the age of 10 and has perused her creative talent attending St Martins School of arts. Mrs. Alatorre has a Master's degree in Psychology from the London School of Economics.
