    About this ebook

    Written for children ages 5-12, ABCs of Sickle Cell is an educational resource for parents, caregivers, and children. The book breaks down terms and concepts for children diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). 

    The author simplified the information so even a child could understand how this genetic blood disorder affects the body. The book is an excellent tool for parents, teachers, healthcare workers, or caregivers to teach children.

     

    ABC's of Sickle Cell features:

    Beautiful original illustrations―Children learn more about Sickle Cell Disease using the letters A to Z.

    Educational and fun―Each page effectively describes the blood disorder to young patients.

    Made for diverse families―The pages feature children, adults, and medical professionals from different ethnic groups because sickle cell disease affects families from multicultural backgrounds worldwide. 

    Positive and inspiring―The book is a positive keepsake that gives young sickle cell warriors a chance to boost their confidence and creativity.
