Alexander the Elephant Leads the Way to Educating Children With Food Allergies

FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) is proud to announce the release of two animated DVDs that both entertain and educate children about food allergies. Alexander, the Elephant Who Couldn't Eat Peanuts ... Goes to School and Alexander, the Elephant Who Couldn't Eat Peanuts ... Gets a Babysitter help children cope with their own allergies and teach other children about tolerance. Both videos combine colorful animation with interviews of real-life children with food allergies who talk about their experiences.

"Alexander is a wonderful role model for children with food allergies," says Anne Munoz-Furlong, CEO and Founder of FAAN, a 501(c)(3) organization. "Children love this character and can identify with the challenges he faces. They see him wondering about many of their own fears and learn coping strategies from him. The DVDs help them to not feel alone or different from other children."

Most children are apprehensive about starting school, but for children with food allergies, it can be an even more threatening experience. Alexander the Elephant Who Couldn't Eat Peanuts ... Goes to School is designed to make it easier for them. Alexander faces his first day of kindergarten with trepidation, but thanks to his bus driver, Mariel, who also has an allergy, he is encouraged to tell his new classmates about his peanut allergy. As he makes his presentation to the class, he discovers that his new friends not only accept his condition, but also are eager to learn about it and help him stay safe.

Alexander, the Elephant Who Couldn't Eat Peanuts ... Gets a Babysitter deals with a common worry that children with food allergies face: being left in the care of someone other than their parents. They are anxious about whether someone else can keep them safe from harmful foods and will know what to do
