Pink Eye

Reach for this book when your child wakes up with a crusty, red eye and is feeling anxious about what is happening to their body or why they have to stay home from school. This factual yet gentle guide demystifies the experience of having conjunctivitis by explaining the science of germs and the steps of medical treatment in a way that feels manageable rather than scary. By featuring real-life examples from other children, the book helps normalize the physical discomfort and the temporary isolation of being sick. It is an excellent tool for children aged 6 to 9, providing enough detail to satisfy their curiosity about how the body works while offering the emotional reassurance that they will be back to their normal routine very soon. Parents will appreciate how it reinforces hygiene habits like hand-washing without sounding like a lecture.
