Advance Praise for Vaccines Explained: "Vaccines Explained will
reach a wide audience from pre K to middle school age students.
Facts are clearly stated and well explained. The illustrations are
vibrant and accurately follow the text. ... the book is well
written and an excellent way to explain vaccines to young
children." Rose Puleo R.N., School Nurse "This book helps support
all communities in understanding personal responsibilities to being
vaccinated. It starts by using multicultural pictures and words to
describe a virus/bacteria and carries the reader through explaining
the process of vaccinations. This book is a great learning resource
to help increase medical knowledge and decrease fear in all
communities during a public health crisis." J. Basini, MPH., Health
Education Teacher "Vaccines Explained is a richly-illustrated and
thoughtfully written book, ideal for explaining the concept of
vaccines and germs for preschoolers through the early elementary
grades. The book gives parents and teachers many opportunities for
conversations about how vaccines work against a variety of germs,
and why vaccines are nothing to fear. The illustrations give plenty
of opportunities to discuss what doctors, pharmacists, and
scientists do, and how vaccines have helped people of all ages, all
over the world. I recommend this timely book as an inspiration for
family and classroom conversations." Michele Morrison, Training +
Program Support Director, ParentChild+
