Title: “Hey! Don’t forget the sunscreen!”
Author: Kimberling Galeti Kennedy
Review: This is a cute,
informative children’s book. It’s about a little girl who talks to a friend’s
aunt in the grocery store and learns all about skin cancer. I read this to my
kids and they all, surprisingly, enjoyed learning about skin cancer. They were
full of inquiries once we finished the book, so readers beware of the plethora
of questions to follow. It is a wonderful thing to have books like this on the
shelves to help children understand important issues like staying safe in the
sun without it being overly graphic or scary. The illustrations are wonderful
as well and keep their attention with no problem. I especially liked the skin
cancer cells and their angry faces. They looked like they were out to destroy.
It was an apt drawing for kids to grasp.
Thanks Heather for this review.
