Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message

Laura Kamada likes to hum and make up songs. Laura helps organize blood drives with Vitalant in San Luis Obispo, CA, and what started one morning as a little rhyming ditty soon turned into a children's book about blood donation: Everyone Needs Blood. Bloodworks 101 producer Helen Pitlick sat down with Laura to talk about her work, what it’s like to write a book, and why truly everyone needs blood.

You can find Everyone Needs Blood on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Everyone-Needs-Blood-Laura-Kamada/dp/B0CSGR7NYP.
