About This Book

Attention all grown-ups! Kids have questions! Now they’ll have answers. Kids of all ages have some important questions about how their bodies workβ€”and why their parents and other adults have some strong ideas on what needs to get done every day in order to stay healthy. Children often hear: β€œNo more screen time!” β€œEat your vegetables!” "Why can't we have cookies for dinner?" β€œYou need to take your medicine!” β€œWash your hands! With soap!” β€œIt’s getting late! Get ready for bed!!” In this book, Dr.

Our Review

This engaging picture book tackles the daily health directives that often puzzle young children, transforming common parental commands into accessible explanations about how bodies work. Dr. Nina Shapiro addresses the "whys" behind familiar refrains like washing hands, eating vegetables, and limiting screen time, using clear, child-friendly language that validates children's curiosity. The book serves as an excellent primer on basic health concepts, helping kids understand the purpose behind routines rather than just following rules. This approach empowers children with knowledge about their own bodies and the reasons for healthy habits.

What sets this health education book apart is its respectful tone that speaks directly to children's experiences while providing scientifically accurate information in digestible pieces. The content is particularly valuable for preschoolers and early elementary children who are developing autonomy and beginning to question household rules. Parents will appreciate how it opens conversations about wellness and self-care without feeling didactic. This body education resource ultimately helps transform daily power struggles into collaborative moments of learning and understanding.
