Overview

Jamie Rodriguez can outrun anyone in fifth grade. At least, they used to. When a terrifying asthma attack strikes during Field Day, Jamie's world turns upside down. Suddenly there are inhalers to carry, triggers to track, and a whole new set of rules for doing the things they love. Worst of all? Everyone is watching. But Jamie isn't the only kid dealing with something invisible. With help from Alex, a friend who's been managing asthma since kindergarten, and a school nurse who never makes anything feel like a big deal, Jamie starts to figure things out-one breath at a time. Along the way, Jamie and their friends create The Breathing Club, a group where kids with all kinds of health conditions look out for each other. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you need help-and then turn around and offer it to someone else. The Breathing Club is a warm and funny chapter book for ages 7-10 that tackles asthma head-on without talking down to kids. Featuring a diverse cast, inclusive representation, and real information about inhalers, spacers, nebulizers, triggers, and action plans, this book gives young readers the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their health. Perfect for kids newly diagnosed with asthma, their siblings and classmates, school libraries, pediatric waiting rooms, and anyone who's ever felt different because of something they can't control.
