You Have A Tube

<p><strong><em>You Have a Tube </em></strong>empowers kids by teaching them about their bodies.  The concept of a tube will inform and entertain even a young child while the vocabulary of subsequent pages each with increasing complexity will continue to stimulate older kids as well.  </p><p>Children love to learn and want desperately to understand how our world works. In fact fiction may be a more difficult concept for young children to understand than non-fiction. Why bombard them with fantasy and make-believe while they are just learning about the magic of how trees grow or where paper comes from or what makes the waves at the beach.</p><p>Everything about our world is new and deserves an explanation. </p><p>What could be more important than learning how our bodies work and the proper terminology  to assist children throughout their lives in conversation and in effective communication with their doctor(s).</p><p>I wrote <strong><em>You Have a Tube</em></strong> because I figured kids needed a next step after reading <em><strong>Everyone Poops</strong></em> by Taro Gomi.  They needed a book with more information-a basic anatomy and physiology reference book for elementary students that belongs in every classroom and in every home bookshelf.  </p><p><strong><em>You Have a Tube</em></strong> is a fun book with colorful engaging pictures that are not terrifying to look at. My goal is to make it the first in a series of <strong><em>You Have a Body</em></strong> books. </p><p>Many a parent and teacher have commented I didn't know any of this. </p><p><br></p>
