By Juliet Clare Bell and Abigail Tompkins
Luka and the Food Cloud
Luka loves judo, videogames and his guinea pig, Bruno. And he really wants to go to his first ever party- but what about the food there?
Luka has ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and eats only a very small number of foods. If he can get help with his ARFID, and more importantly, if other people can learn to accept that he eats different food from them, will he finally be able to go to the party?
A story of courage, resilience, and how we can become accepting of other people's differences. Luka and the Food Cloud was commissioned by De Montfort University to increase understanding of, and reduce stigma towards ARFID.
All the proceeds of the book will be used to increase knowledge about this condition, and £1 from the sale of each book will be donated to the charity ARFID Awareness UK.
