Meet Wally

The Seafood-Allergic Walrus

A story about love.

A story about friendship and forgiveness.

A story for the entire family.

“Wally the Seafood-Allergic Walrus” is more than just a fun children’s story. It is an educational tool for children, parents, and educators alike. The story emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing food allergies, being prepared with necessary medications like an “EpiFriend,” and displaying empathy in emergency situations.

“I watched my 4 year-old daughter’s eyes light up when reading Wally’s story. Someone knew exactly how she felt and what she experienced! She immediately asked to read the story again!”

"As a physician and mom, I find that teaching children about food allergies can sometimes be challenging. Wally’s story is beautifully illustrated and highlights how easy an accidental ingestion can occur. It also covers the topic of bullying and the dangers of food allergy in a gentle manner that kids understand. The best of it all is that Wally introduces his epinephrine injector as his friend! Highly recommend!"

"Reading about Wally made me feel like I’m not the only kid in the world with a food allergy."

“I wrote this story to help teach children about food allergies, but it teaches so much more – how to be a friend, how to ask forgiveness, and how to extend grace. Everyone can learn from Wally. I know I have.”
