Praise for this book

"This was an amazing book that very simply explained many of the different types of physicians. The illustration was amazing and eye catching. I will be giving this to many of the children I know. So they can see others that look like them in these different professions in medicine." Pediatrician

" I have two little girls and they absolutely loved this book. Not only did they learn about all the different types of doctors in a fun way, they saw firsthand that as females (and females of color), they could do and be anything they wanted. After reading the book now both of my girls want to be doctors!" Mother
