Understanding Allergies with Alan the Allergist

Jason, after experiencing an allergic reaction to peanuts in the school cafeteria, learns he has a peanut allergy from Dr. Alan. He moves to the allergy table, where he meets John (milk allergy), Sara (egg allergy), and Mike (soy allergy). Initially sad, they cheer up with Jason's jokes. Jason realizes they can bake something everyone can enjoy. They all bake delicious, safe cookies at Jason's house with his mother's help, assigning roles to each of them, from slicing bananas to stirring. They happily enjoy their treats, bonding over a shared experience and already making plans to bake together again. This shows the children that even with allergies, life can still be fun, and friendship can bring joy, while teaching them the importance of collaboration.
