This series aims to increase children's awareness of the importance of looking after their bodies. Straighforward, easy-to-understand information about the care of skin, advising young readers about the importance of washing properly, having a balanced diet containing plenty of fruit and vegetables and protection against the sun and what to do about cuts and rashes. This book gives a simple explanation of what skin is, its functions and the various ways in which it protects us. The author stresses the importance of keeping skin clean, so as to reduce the chance of infection. The author also describes how spots and pimples form, and how these can be prevented by the avoidance of greasy foods. The importance of using sun creams is placed in the context of healthy fun-in-the-sun. The author deals with sensitive issues pertaining to our skins - such as acne, birthmarks, scars and different-coloured skins - in a careful way; any stigmatization is avoided, but a clear and full explanation of these differences is provided.
