Critics Review
“This is a success story. One that will speak and offer hope to many sufferers of eczema and allergies, who feel their lives can never be normal. Mitchell Itches is a wonderful example of what you have, doesn’t define who you can become. Amelina Jones’ luxurious and expressive, full-page illustrations, are entertaining and beautifully support Kristen Kelly’s well-researched, clever, and humorous text”. – Kids’ Book Review
“Mitchell Itches serves as a thoughtful book to support young readers with eczema – promoting positivity and perseverance through trialling different remedies, shifting focus from the temptation to itch, and discovering what can be achieved despite having eczema. It’s also a great resource for parents and carers looking to aid children experiencing eczema, and for those who want to further educate themselves on how to support other people with eczema.” – Reading Time
“This story would connect well with children who have eczema, and children who may have friends or know someone who has eczema. This story helps the reader become more understanding of what that person might be going through, and that ultimately they are just people and we don’t need to treat them differently. At the end there are some helpful tips for families on how to manage symptoms..” – The Sapling
