A Kids Book About Your Microbiome (view book)

Full Book Description:

For centuries, most people believed that microbes were harmful, especially bacteria. But now we know most are actually good and very important for our health. Your microbiome is the community of trillions of microbes (too small to see!) that live in, on, and all around you. This book teaches kids what the microbiome is, what it does, how we can help it thrive, and why we can’t live without it.
