Description
Maria's Marvelous Bones tells the story of an accident that changes everything for Maria. With the help of kind people at the hospital, she learns about fractures, casts, x-rays, and how bones heal.
Written by a bone surgeon to guide kids through fracture treatment and healing, this book also celebrates gender and cultural diversity in healthcare professionals. The story is both realistic and reassuring, concluding with Maria getting her cast removed.
The illustrations are charming and colorful, featuring diverse characters that will be particularly encouraging to young patients in similar circumstances. This gentle tale encourages children to learn about fractures and orthopaedic work, making it a wonderful resource for families to prepare their little ones for medical intervention after an injury.
