New from Mayo Clinic Press Kids’ Helping Paws Academy series, Lumos Helps with Healing follows a facility dog who helps a child with a broken arm.
Lumos, an adorable facility dog, brings comfort to a child who broke her arm, 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.
