//\\ Nautilus Book Award - Silver Medalist for Middle-Grade Nonfiction //\\

Attention all grown-ups! Kids have questions! Now they'll have answers.

Kids of all ages have some important questions about how their bodies work—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:

"No more screen time!"
"Eat your vegetables!"
"You can't have cookies for dinner!"
"You need to take your medicine!"
"Wash your hands! With soap!"
"It's getting late! Get ready for bed!!"

In Ultimate Kids' Guide to Being Super Healthy, Dr. Nina L. Shapiro embarks on an amazing journey through the body as it gets fed, protected, exercised, cleaned, energized, and rested. Each chapter provides kids with age-appropriate explanations and illustrations that address their very good questions about their bodies and health with solid (and fun!) science-based answers. By receiving an in-depth understanding of what it means to be healthy, strong, clean, rested, and energized, kids will soon be able to make smart decisions on their own.

The human body is incredible, and the science behind how our bodies work, how the world affects our bodies, and how our bodies affect the world around us is pretty cool, too.

"Perfect for any kid who wants to know the what, why, and how behind staying healthy," says Dr Cara Natterson, bestselling author. Ari Brown, MD, adds the book "empowers kids to learn about their bodies and take charge of their health" and may even teach parents a few things. Susan Kaiser Greenland praises its engaging, child-friendly language and recommends it as an excellent resource for elementary-aged children and their parents.

About the Author

Dr. Nina L. Shapiro has been taking care of children for more than two decades, and they have asked some excellent questions throughout the years. Most of the time, she has a pretty good answer, but sometimes she gets stumped. She is professor and surgeon at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and is the Director of Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat at the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her own children, who are stuck with two surgeon parents at the dinner table each night. She is the author of Take a Deep Breath: Clear the Air for the Health of Your Child and HYPE: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims and Bad Advice: How To Tell What's Real and What's Not, which was a Publisher's WeeklyBest Book of 2018.
