Timmy and the Tick

Timmy is a very active four year old who loves to run with his sister and play with his dog Spikey. But one morning Timmy woke up not feeling well so his mom took him to the doctor. And guess what? Timmy had been bitten by a tick and had Lyme disease. Timmy was lucky that the doctor knew exactly what to do and soon he was able to once again enjoy his favorite activities. Timmy and the Tick is written for children 2 to 8 years old and is an entertaining as well as educational story to help kids and parents learn about Lyme disease. It is full of information on the symptoms and tips on how to prevent it. The author of "Timmy and the Tick" and "Grouchy Bear," Judy Coleman, was the Coordinator of the West Virginia Lyme Support Network, 1991-1993. As with many victims of Lyme disease, the author and her family have all experienced the frustration and difficulty associated with having their illnesses diagnosed and treated effectively. Her children were ages 12, 5, and 4 when diagnosed in the early nineties. They are all adults now and leading productive lives
