What people said about my books

Every child can relate to the feeling of getting sick, but even adults struggle to explain what is happening when we are sick. Through the lens of one child’s relatable experience, we learn about the basics of the immune system with familiar words and colorful characters. This book is a great way for young readers to learn about how our bodies fight disease, information which will lead us towards greater public understanding of immunity.
