Check out this fun event featuring our oldest Pretendly Daughter Larkin as a Guest Speaker/Artist. She will also be sharing her original comic book launching in collaboration with The Celiac Disease Center. We’re incredibly proud of her hard work as an artist illustrating this piece and for being a wonderful Celiac advocate.
