Taking Care of You: A Kid's Guide to Personal Hygiene invites readers to take ownership and pride in their health and appearance through daily self-care. Scientific facts and diagrams reveal the "why behind the what" of human biology, and healthy habits are modeled by real kids at home, at play, and at school. Children learn that good hygiene doesn’t just keep you healthy, it lets you look and smell great! And with emotionally tender illustrations, the child is reminded that a parent’s devoted attention to their health and hygiene is not a scold, but a sincere expression of love.
" Rockwell's warm realistic watercolor goauche and pencil art shows kids actively caring for themselves... there's just enough science and the advice is concise, clear and attractively presented. Engaging Informative and accessible."
