South Sound Review Council │ Dealing with Health Issues

by Kim Matthews, Komachin Middle School, Lacey, WA, South Sound Review Council

"A well-organized non-fiction book about and for students navigating medical conditions of their own or others. Various sections of the book cover topics like the kinds of health issues students might encounter, how to care for oneself or others, and strategies for taking control when medical needs might make one feel out of control. Each section has clear, easy to read text suitable for a middle school student. I appreciated the notes at the beginning of the book with tips for reading non-fiction. The book includes a glossary of terms, an index, and additional resources students can use. Most pictures did not have captions, but rather many had “Did you know” text nearby that enhanced the main text on the page. I found the text approachable and factual with the illustrations being very inclusive of many races and genders."
