Book Synopsis

Share this book with children to help them, in a safe and calm way, understand how germs work. In addition to straightforward, helpful information told in a warm and approachable way, the book contains a chart of rules for good health that reinforces healthful living. 

Germs are all around us, but they''re too small to see. Many germs are harmless, but two kinds, viruses and bacteria, can make you sick. How? Read and find out!

This clear and appealing picture book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom, is all about germs, how they can make you sick, and how your body works to fight them off. 

This book features simple diagrams to explain why you feel poorly when you''re sick and how your body keeps you healthy by producing antibodies. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Melanie Marin. An excellent resource in this time of COVID-19.
