Description

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a scientist?

Jack hadn't, but after his father contracted COVID-19, he developed long COVID, which involved a variety of chronic health issues: mold toxicity, Lyme disease, Candida overgrowth, S.I.B.O, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Electromagnetic Sensitivity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and light sensitivity.

His deteriorating health was something most doctors had never seen before and couldn't understand. Jack's father went on quite a rough journey that ended with him being sent to the psychiatric hospital. With the help of data, his father, and the opinions of experts that made the most sense to him, Jack applied critical thinking, thinking like a scientist, to save the day.

A scary and fascinating tale of trying to solve a serious medical problem, the author takes the approach of how his son helped him to solve the medical crisis and, in the process, learn what current medical art/science can and cannot do. Well written and illustrated, a frightening tale with a happy ending.

A wonderful children's picture book that takes young readers on a journey into the world of critical thinking and problem-solving. The story revolves around Jack, whose father's health deteriorates due to a complex set of chronic conditions. Jack's determination to help his father by applying the principles of scientific inquiry is both heartwarming and inspiring.

This book not only introduces children to the idea of thinking like a scientist but also teaches them valuable life lessons about resilience, determination, and the power of critical thinking. The engaging narrative and colorful illustrations make complex medical concepts accessible to young minds.

Explaining critical thinking can be a real challenge, but this one tried very hard. However. It does a very good job of addressing the fears and issues too many people of many ages have when there is an unfamiliar disease with scary symptoms affecting someone they love. Long Covid is the mess that Jack's father is trying to deal with, but there are a number of invisible diseases as well as extensions of some other long term diseases. The important take-away is that even children can not only be supportive, but trigger better responses from adults.
It is colorful and simply illustrated by the author!
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age, great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library!
I requested and received a temporary electronic copy on Adobe Digital Editions from the author via NetGalley. Thank you!
