FAQ

Books about health can help families and educators introduce conversations about the human body, emotions, illness, nutrition and physical activity. They can also support children who are becoming more curious about how their bodies function and change.

Books about health are engaging for 6-year-olds because they answer questions children naturally have about themselves and the people around them. Topics such as germs, sleep, growth, exercise and body systems often feel relevant because they connect directly to everyday experiences.
