Is there a book for children about a parent's asthma

Hiya, I've only had asthma for a couple of years but it's only been this year that it's been bad.

My 7 year old gets quite anxious about it.

Is there a book that explains what happens and how the medicine works whilst leaving out the risk of death.

He's super empathetic. Facts soothe him so we need it to be factual but age appropriate.

Thanks.

This was a while ago, but when I was a child (probably 15-20 years ago now!) I was given a book by my consultant about 'Desmond Dragon' who has asthma and uses his medication to help him be like the other dragons. I loved that book! Don't know if it's still around?

Looks like you may have spotted a book for you to write!

I wish I could but writing isn't one of my talents. I may suggest it to one of my friends though.
