What should you do if you fall at the park? Or if you suddenly have difficulty breathing?
Why does your belly button stick out? What do you do if your knee starts to swell and hurt?
Are you always running all over the place? Why is mommy's belly growing?
Six little kids. Six situations for a hospital visit where they are filled with questions!
Through the eyes of these six children, young readers learn that hospitals aren't scary places. Not only is there lots of learn, there are all kinds of kind medical staff to accompany you.
This is the debut title by author-illustrator Dr. Lucci Lugee Liyeung, who is an orthopaedic surgeon by day, and an accomplished cartoonist, illustrator and children's book author by night.
She likes utilising her artistic talents to disseminate health education, particularly aimed at children. When Covid-19 first made an appearance, it took her just three nights to come up with a bilingual story book for kids, featuring Dumo and his friends, with brilliantly illustrated tips on how to properly wash hands and wear a mask and keep the home environment clean.
The book, Dr Dumo et al, became an instant hit. It was widely distributed to children in schools and hospitals for free, translated into at least 12 languages and has appeared on several websites.
