Mateo und die Körperpolizei

The twins Mateo and Sofia wake up in the morning full of excitement because today is their first day of school. However, during breakfast with the class, Mateo suddenly realizes that he can hardly breathe, prompting the teacher to call an ambulance that takes Mateo to the hospital. What is happening? Mateo is examined by a doctor who determines that the cause of his shortness of breath is a peanut allergy. After several more tests, Mateo gradually begins to understand what an allergy is and what role his body's defense system plays in it. Later, he meets Luisa, who, like him, has allergies. Mateo learns from her that there are different types of allergies and what helps in various cases. In the end, he also realizes that no one is to blame for his allergy. The book "Mateo and the Body Police" addresses many questions and concerns that children face when dealing with long-term chronic conditions, such as allergies.
