According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in thirteen people have asthma. It is the leading chronic disease in children, and is also the top reason for missed school days. Author Barbara Sheen provides your readers with essential information on asthma. Straightforward, careful explanations offer insight into what it is, what causes it, and how people live with asthma. Readers will also learn about treatment and step-by-step plans for preventing asthma attacks.
I am an asthma sufferer, mother of two children with asthma and a middle school health teacher. I used this book in my health classes as reference material, and at home to help me and my children. It is interesting, and filled with up-to-date facts and helpful tips. Everything is explained in plain language. I recommend this book for adults, teenagers, and school use.
