This book aims to raise the bar in terms of how we explain everyday medical practice to a generation of children that are smarter than we were.

Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) September 19, 2013 - Today, SDP Publishing Solutions announced the release of a new type of children's book, "DareBone's Big Break," the story of a young boy who learns what to expect after he breaks a bone on the playground.

"I see this type of injury all too often in my medical practice," says Dr. Gleeson Rebello, author and pediatric orthopedic surgeon from Harvard Medical School. "'DareBone's Big Break' helps kids and their parents understand what happens if and when this type of injury occurs. It takes the 'scary' out of the process by educating with humor, while making science and biology cool for kids by not talking down to them. The aim of writing this book is to raise the bar in terms of how we explain everyday medical practice to a generation of children that are smarter than we were."

"DareBone's Big Break" is a fun picture book that is written in rhyme and embraces a scenario all too common for many families with young children. It incorporates medical terminology in a way that kids can understand, allowing them to learn about their bones and how they are treated following injury.

This is the first in a series of books by Dr. Rebello and co-author Jamie Harisiades to combine entertaining rhyme with accurate medical information aimed at educating readers and parents about common childhood conditions, such as allergies, autism, asthma and obesity.
