Children living with PKU (typically ages 0–5), their parents, teachers, and siblings. They are also suitable for nursery or school settings to promote inclusion and understanding.

What do the books teach?

The alphabet book introduces letters using low-protein foods and colourful images. The colouring book reinforces these foods through interactive play. Both support dietary learning and positive PKU food identification.
