“Asthma Blues” brings new power to the core messages we need to deliver to ALL children and youths
with asthma. Through “Asthma Blues”, Al Keith has provided an exciting new media for raising asthma literacy in America. His
music brings fun and greater effectiveness to asthma education. I believe we are far more likely to change behavior and promote appropriate self-care
actions among kids and adults by adding “Asthma Blues” to our "educator toolkit".

“While asthma is very much a disease of inflammation, its successful management is very much a matter of
communication. Al Keith and CTK provide a remarkably relevant tool kit to foster effective asthma education in an age-appropriate
and culturally relevant manner. This tool kit is aimed at our most vulnerable patients...the young children who suffer so
much from a disease poorly understood and therefore, poorly managed.”

“Asthma Blues" is fun & educational
for children of all ages. The catchy tunes with the medical terms makes learning easy to grasp. Who knew learning something
health related could be such fun? Even children that don't have asthma could benefit from the "Asthma Blues" program
as it teaches them why their friend might have restrictions and limitations. "Asthma Blues" is a well thought out
program and should be taught in every school.”
