Furthermore, the text is supported by detailed visuals and explanations of our bodies and the functions of our various body parts. This informational book accurately gives children and parents the sensitive information they are looking for. Harris provides the readers with a list of professional sources that were consulted for this book. A note to the reader from Harris further explains that this book has been updated when new information is learned.
