The Peanut Butter Jam by Elizabeth Nassau

Nassau, Elizabeth. The Peanut Butter Jam. Albuquerque: Health Press. 2001. 32p.  

Sam is allergic to peanuts and is frustrated with being different from his peers. During a class project in which students are making bird feeders with peanut butter, one student's bullying pushes Sam to try touching the peanut butter.  The book details the steps the school must immediately follow and shows children how series this allergy is.  The story promotes understanding, tolerance and sensitivity to the seriousness of allergies.
