This is another book I would add to a home library if I had children at home. It teaches quite a bit about how skin heals and what to expect when skin is injured. The two sisters, Alex and Charlie are so sweet and memorable. I loved the illustrations. I was blessed with a free ARC, and I’m leaving my review voluntarily.

Charlie falls off her bike and scrapes her knee and her sister Alex is there to assure her that her body will heal itself. Charlie learns all about how her skin will repair itself and the steps it will take to get there.

There are clever illustrations inserted throughout the book to help children understand different parts of healing, including what happens when bloods clots. I read this with my niece and nephew and they were able to make connections to when they needed stitches.

Thank you to NetGalley and North Star Editions for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. #NetGalley #HowWeHeal

Great illustrations. A good way for kids to learn about a subject that isn't talked about in depth at their age and since kids get scrapes and cuts all the time while playing, it is a cool way for them to understand the process. My 7 year old will love this book and will likely have more questions as we read about the topic of skin healing.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

My little one enjoyed reading this book together. It tells the story of Charlie who falls while riding her bike. Charlie's sister Alex tells Charlie all the ways your skin works to heal itself and protect your body. The pictures are really cute, and it's a nice, easy, and informative read for your little ones.

Very educational story about how our skin heals after injury explains about how the blood clots and forms a scab to protect the injury during the healing process, explains about keeping it clean so the skin can form new cells and replace the damaged area.

This is a great book to help kids learn how their body works. The story was great and informative. The pictures added a lot to help with the understanding. Great informative book for kids.

Wow! What an educational book designed for multiple different ages. I loved the purpose this book had to an every day occurrence for kids especially!

This book is so informative that not only childrens should read but adult also will get to know many facts about our skin function.
I enjoyed reading the book.
The pictures makes it so interesting.
You can understand by just looking at the pictures.
You can relate the story with the pictures and understand better

Thank you bet galley for this early copy .What a great educational book for children !Aki fell off her bike and scraped her knee.Her sister told her that her body will heal itself .The book taught about clotting,germs,and scabbing.I like the end how Ali was happy to see how her skin heals .The illustrations were on point .If I were a teacher then I would use this book in my classroom.

I love this book and gotta give it a solid 5 stars!

It's super informative for kids.

The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed, making them easy to understand. Moreover, they are big; so the parents can explain what actually happened there (in the skin itself!) more easily to their kids.

Really, Adam Schmitt nailed the 'skin healing itself' idea so well. Using this idea combined with parent's storytelling skills, will reassure children in general not to worry if they get hurt.

A big point plus, this book is packaged using of light language. For an older children (6 yo or more), effortlessly, they can understand it well.

Love this book!

I was the kind of parent who always immediately said "You're all right!" when a kid was injured in front of me. Their stress, pain, and fear are often out of proportion to the injury. This book is cute, and it's good for kids because it explains how our bodies can take care of themselves when we are injured. You can often see that process happen almost immediately, like when the little girls in the story saw the blood clotting.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
