No More Cupcakes & Tummy Aches

<i>Izzie wasn't very tall for seven. Not even for six. Or five. Even if she stood on her tippy tippy toes her pony tail just reached the top of Daddy's chair...</i><br><br><blockquote> So begins the tale of the little girl who believes that by eating lots of cupcakes she will get tall maybe even tall enough to be a ballerina. Too many cupcakes cause a tummy ache and the trouble starts. Living gluten-free isn't a piece of cake until Izzie learns that being special is really what makes you tall. Beautifully illustrated and with a foreword by Alessio Fasano M.D. Director of the Center for Celiac Research Lowell's charming and emotionally honest tale complete with resources and a real-life happy ending in the form of a gluten- and lactose-free cupcake recipe from Whole Foods Market Gluten-Free Bakehouse chef Lee Tobin will live in the hearts of parents and children for generations to come. </blockquote> <br><br>Enchanting. Beautifully written. A tale to delight every child on a special diet. <br><br> <blockquote> -- Peggy Wagener Living Without Magazine</blockquote> <br><br>If only I had known Izzie when I was a sick little banana baby. <br><br><blockquote> -- Elaine Monarch Exec.
