My Amazing Skin Series
Join Alex and Charlie as they learn about the amazing things our skin can do!
Four friends are heading outside for a full day of fun! While Alex and Charlie make sure to put on sunscreen and protective clothing, Sam and Nate decide they don’t need to worry about it because it’s a cloudy day. But the next morning Sam and Nate wake up to red, painful sunburns. “How did this happen? The sun wasn’t even out!” Alex and Charlie help the boys to understand how ultraviolet light can cause sunburns, and how to be smart about sun protection so that they can continue to spend lots of time outside as healthy and active kids.
Written by Adam Schmitt, MD, MS, a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon based in the Twin Cities and the father of two young children, Safe in the Sun teaches children everything they need to know about how to have fun while staying safe in the sun.
Ilustrated by Michelle Simpson and produced by Book Bridge Press, the My Amazing Skin series teaches kiddos (and parents!) about the amazing things our skin does for us and how to care for it. I am very excited to partner with North Star Editions to publish and distribute this series!
When Charlie takes a tumble off her bike and scrapes her knee, her sister Alex reassures Charlie that she’ll be okay. Alex tells Charlie all the ways her skin works hard to heal itself.
Charlie learns how blood begins to clot right away to stop bleeding, how the body removes damaged skin cells and makes new ones, and how soap and water keep germs away to prevent an infection.
Written by a dermatologist and a father of young children, How We Heal is a comforting story that will help kids feel less afraid and more empowered by learning about the resilience of their own amazing skin and how to care for their everyday cuts and scrapes.
