<p>"Written by a dermatologist, this will be a hit for all the budding scientists and doctors out there." <em>—Children's Literature</em></p>

<p>"This would be a great companion to empower children to learn about the resilience of our own bodies and assure them that those painful scrapes will get better with a little love and care." <em>—Midwest Book Review</em></p>

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.
