Reviews & Awards
Praise for the first edition:
Breathe Easy is essential reading for every child with asthma and his or her family.
Thomas L. Creer, Co-Author of Living With Asthma
…an abundantly illustrated, easy to understand book for asthmatic children to help them understand their illness and to dispel fear about it. I strongly recommend it.
Elliot F. Ellis, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Emeritus, State University of New York at Buffalo
While Weiss wrote it for pre-teens, it could be helpful to older readers who are looking for relief from their asthma.
