Description
Taj is cool. He plays basketball, has lots of friends--and he has asthma. His life is going just right until he collapses on the court. If Taj and his coach had been more aware of the warning signs of asthma, Taj could have saved himself a trip to the hospital.
Illustrated with photographs from the filming of a video starring Danny Devito and Nia Long, Relieve the Squeeze demonstrates the danger of ignoring symptoms. Using a strong, teen-friendly voice, Peggy Guthart Strauss gives tons of important information--including a description of an asthma attack; a list of resources for asthma sufferers; suggestions for tracking medication schedules; and ideas for "asthma-proofing" the house--right alongside an asthma rap!
The number of asthma sufferers in the U.S. has increased 75% in the last ten years. The Draw-A-Breath Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing everyone's awareness of asthma, was created in response to shocking statistics like these.
