The Itch Monster - Eczema Book for Kids, A Bedtime Story for Little Ones with Itchy Skin (Ebook PDF Download)

I started Bamboo Bubby in 2010, after eczema kept my own little boy awake at night. Bam began as the little panda on the Bamboo Bubby label. Over the years I watched so many families go through the same long, itchy nights, and I wanted their children to have a story of their own.

The Itch Monster is the book I wished I'd had at the end of my son's bed. Itch is funny, not scary. Nobody is told off for scratching. And Mum says the words every parent needs to hear: big nights are nobody's fault.

If your family knows those nights too, you're not alone.

Does the story tell kids to stop scratching?

No. Nobody tells Ollie off. Mum says, "It's nobody's fault, love." The story shows comfort instead: a warm lamp, soft sleeves, a cuddle and slow breaths.

What is the breathing rhyme?

"Breathe in... two... three. Breathe out... Bam and me." Say it together as you read, then use it at lights out or on a big night.
