Book Synopsis

A new series on a hugely popular topic – the human body! Next up, award-winning writer Dr Roopa Farooki explores the wonders of the human skeleton.
What do humans have in common with fish, snakes and birds? We all have a SKELETON: the collection of bones which gives our body its shape. With words by Internal Medicine doctor and writer of the acclaimed memoir Everything Is True, Roopa Farooki, and bright, bold, pictures by award-winning artist Viola Wang, this is a lively and charming look at what bones are made of, all the different jobs they do, what happens when one breaks and how children can keep their bones strong and healthy as they grow.
