This is a subject very close to my heart
This is a great book for kids dealing with Cystic Fibrosis
or a book to help kids understand what a family member is going through that has the disease.

Sticky Icky Booger Bugs
by Sherry Frith 
is the tale of a boy’s battle with cystic fibrosis as he attempts to avoid the hospital. 
Kory is just like any other kid. He loves recess, playing soccer, and exploring his neighborhood with his best friend. With every puff, cough, and sneeze, Kory keeps the sticky icky booger bugs away so he can have fun every day! 
Sticky Icky Booger Bugs is a picture book, 
illustrated by Caroll Newell Walter, for children ages 0 – 7.

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. There are 30,000 children each year diagnosed and battling cystic fibrosis. There is no cure for this progressive disease.


Sherry wrote Sticky Icky Booger Bugsafter her sons, Kory and Kevin, were diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She wanted to explain aspects of the disorder using words they could understand. Helped by colorful illustrations, and the knowledge they gained, they were able to deal with the sticky icky booger bugs using simple routines to keep their cystic fibrosis at bay. This story lets children know that they are loved, no matter what their medical situation may be. 

Sticky Icky Booger Bugs was released on July 26, 2013
