Leo's Amazing Gut Adventure!

Synopsis

Join Leo, a curious 2nd grader, on an incredible journey inside his own digestive system! When Leo discovers he has Ulcerative Colitis and needs a colostomy bag, he feels a little worried. But with the help of his wise Grandma, he learns that his body is like a super-smart factory, and his colostomy bag is just a special tool that helps him stay healthy and happy. This book uses colorful illustrations and simple explanations to explore how food travels through the body, from the mouth to the stomach, intestines, and beyond. You'll meet friendly characters like the stomach acid and learn about important parts like the small intestine and the large intestine. Discover how nutrients are absorbed and what happens to the rest! We even explain what a colostomy bag does in a way that makes sense, comparing it to a helpful helper that collects waste. 'Leo's Amazing Gut Adventure!' is packed with over 10 new vocabulary words about digestion, like 'esophagus' and 'peristalsis,' explained in a way that's easy for kids to understand. It uses a fun analogy to compare the digestive system to a theme park ride, showing how everything works together!
