A highly relevant book that helps children understand important questions about health, illnesses, and viruses. Available in Somali, as well as Arabic and Swedish.
How do you get sick? Why is it so important to wash your hands? And how can you stay healthy and feel good?
Pelle No-Tail and his friends in Uppsala can also get sick. The kitten Friskus and his brother Frallan both get fevers and have to stay home from the cats’ preschool. Luckily, they get well soon! Clearly illustrated fact pages show in text and pictures what viruses and bacteria are and how to avoid infection: sneeze and cough into your elbow, wash your hands with Pelle’s hand-washing song, and keep your distance from those who are sick. We also learn more about what the inside of the body looks like, and together with Bill and Bull, we learn how to stay energetic by sleeping well, eating right, and being active.
In the safe environment of Pelle No-Tail’s school, health and illnesses become easy to understand. Maria Frensborg’s fact-filled stories and Ingrid Flygare’s cozy illustrations have been fact-checked to ensure all children receive accurate information at an appropriate level.
