When you have a blood clotting disorder such as hemophilia, it's important to take precautions, especially when playing sports. But the right treatment and routines can help you stay in the game.
Author and illustrator Hey Gee brings to life an illuminating glimpse of the days and seasons of a star soccer player who has hemophilia. Created together with a real-life Mayo Clinic patient, this book highlights how a high-energy routine is possible with well-managed hemophilia, while explaining the treatments and precautions that are needed to prevent dangerous bleeding.
A beautifully illustrated approach provides a kid's-eye view of living with, and beyond, this chronic condition. Educational backmatter includes a glossary of key terms, additional information on hemophilia from the medical editor, and information about the book's creators.
