New book teaches children about allergies

A new book launched this month will teach young children about allergies.

'King Orry and the Itchy Pillow' written by Jules Sum, focuses on introducing the concept of allergies in a simple way.

Jules Sum is a mum to a five-year old with multiple life threatening food allergies.

The Manx themed story introduces  King Orry of Mann, a well-known Manx figure who first arrived in the Isle of Man in 938AD. 

It follows him the night before the biggest event of the year -'The Viking Beard Festiva', where Vikings from all over the land gather to compare the size of their
longboats, and see who has the best beard in the land!

It will be released on June, 21.

The illustrations have been done by Island based designer Kim Gee and is available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle.
