New from Mayo Clinic Press Kids' Helping Paws Academy series, Cricket Give Comfort follows a facility dog who helps a child with epilepsy.

This inviting chapter book series explores health topics through the friendly lens of facility dogs. Follow an adorable facility dog helping a child through a diagnosis of epilepsy, with strong messages of empathy, kindness, and courage. Facility dogs are specially trained to help kids through medical experiences-from lifting spirits, motivating movement, modeling the power of play, and more. Nonfiction back matter provides more information about medical topics introduced in the books, from acute to chronic issues, while also proving more information about facility dog programs and the Mayo Clinic Children's Center.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.
