Sophie is teased by her classmates because of her condition: her skin looks different; she has flaky, red patches. That’s why her classmates only call her “Flake”. Sophie is often sad and doesn’t feel like she belongs. She is afraid to tell her classmates about her illness. One day, Lennart makes friends with her after his mom, a doctor, tells him about neurodermatitis.

Sophie realizes how important it is that other people know about her illness and has an idea: together with Lennart she wants to talk about it to the children in her class during a school lesson (“Mission Flake”).

This book helps children who suffer from atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis) to learn more about the condition and the best way for them to cope with it.

For:
• children of elementary school age
(between 6 and 12 years) who suffer
from atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis)
• parents and relatives
• teachers
• therapists
