About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing curiosity about their body, expresses fear about getting hurt, or wants to play 'doctor' with their toys. It is an ideal tool for demystifying minor injuries and medical supplies, turning a potentially scary 'boo-boo' into an opportunity for calm, practical action. Through the relatable play of Nikki and Enzo, children learn how to handle common mishaps like nosebleeds, bumps, and stomach aches. Guided by Enzo's mom, a doctor, the story models how to stay composed and helpful. This book is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are ready to take on small responsibilities and develop empathy for others who are in pain. It effectively bridges the gap between imaginative play and real-life safety skills.
