Do you remember every time you've been sick?

You may not, but your body does! With many illnesses, you can't get sick more than once because your body remembers and fights it off before you get sick again. But what if your body could recognize germs that you've never had before so you don't get ill? There's where vaccines come in! This book comes complete with extensive back matter all about types of germs and vaccines.

Kathleen Marcotte is an illustrator from the suburbs of Chicago. She moved on to Baltimore, Maryland, where she earned her BFA in illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and is now based in Cleveland, Ohio. Kathleen loves to create playful illustrations that can appeal to both children and adults. She has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, and 3x3 magazine. When she's not drawing, she can be found running through the Metroparks, listening to too many podcasts, and howling at trains with her dog, Kuma.
