But instead of flying away like a bird, the child has an asthma attack and needs to go inside for a puff of medication from their inhaler. “It’s the leaf pollen,” Mama explains, but that doesn’t make spending all afternoon inside any less boring. A breathing exercise and visualization help their symptoms, but it’s still no fun to play alone. With a sparkle of imagination and a dash of creativity, the child comes up with a way to be included in fall play time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensitive story from debut children’s book author Margaret Kingsbury is illustrated by four-time Governor General’s Literary award nominee Josée Bisaillon.
