Series: The Strength of My Scars

Cystic Fibrosis: Wacky Juice Machines, guides readers through a story about Cystic Fibrosis (CF) that answers many questions about this complex condition, including: What is it? How do you get it? What does it do? How do you treat it? The story uses an analogy that compares your body to a juice machine and is written in easy to understand language with vibrant illustration to ensure it is comprehensive while being fun, comforting, and hopeful. It includes a glossary of common words you'll hear doctors use through treatment and a 'Facts' section containing important information. Additional special sections describe common CF symptoms, airway clearance therapies, nutritional facts and tips, and provide a comprehensive list of the doctors and other medical specialists that work with CF patients. This informative and enjoyable book is part of the series The Strength of My Scars, written and illustrated by surgeon, Maria Baimas-George.
