The books in this new strand of the Shine-a-Light series are focused on helping readers navigate their physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. The much-loved Shine-a-Light format, which gives readers the magic of being able to “see through” the page simply by using a flashlight, puts an engaging new spin on core themes that are important in the lives of young children.

Getting Sick and Feeling Better follows a child recovering from a cold. Along the way, readers will learn how coughs and colds are spread, and how to protect ourselves and others from germs. The book also gently presents things that we can actively do to keep our bodies and minds healthy.

"This book is seriously such a great resource for helping kids visualize how germs spread and the importance of healthy habits! Topics covered include: fever, sneezing, coughing, germs, washing hands, medicine, sleep, hydrating, healthy eating, exercise, and staying home or masking when sick."
-- Lil Reader that Could

"This is fun such a fun book to read aloud!"

“[D]oes a great job at explaining what 'sick' actually means. It reminds readers the importance of disposing used tissues and washing hands frequently. I appreciate the mention of getting rest because we all know a kid or two who dislikes having to take naps.”
