Caroline's Itch

by Victoria Yap-Chung, Bianca Silva (Illustrator)

Overview

Caroline's Itch: A Story About Eczema, in which the protagonist uses her struggle with eczema as an opportunity to inform her peers, thus bridging the gap and helping her to develop closer friendships with her classmates. My hope is to raise more awareness of eczema, and to educate readers so that people with eczema feel less alienated and more empowered.

About the Author

Victoria Yap-Chung, author of Caroline's Itch: A Story About Eczema, "is a multiracial (Black, Chinese and Jamaican) model, actor and eczema mommy warrior and advocate! Her daughter was born with atopic dermatitis (eczema) in 2020. She spent hours researching and applying different methods to identify the root cause of eczema, as her child suffered sleepless nights scratching and making her skin bleed. During these trying times, she worried that her child would experience considerable discrimination, social isolation and poor self-esteem as she entered school. Victoria decided to do something about it, creating "Caroline's Itch." She hopes this book raises awareness of the prevalence and normalcy of eczema and educates readers, both adults and children alike, to bridge the gap and help people with eczema feel less alienated and more empowered.
