With vivid and visually appealing illustrations depicting everyday situations that babies encounter, the photo series helps parents teach their children how to take care of their bodies in a simple and enjoyable way.
“En bonne santé” (In Good Health) is one of the books in the Fleurus Publisher’s collection of educational books for children, which features illustrations of potentially dangerous situations that young children may face at home. These illustrations are adapted from the book “Attention bobos” (Watch Out for Boo-boos), which has been widely shared by Vietnamese mothers.
This book helps parents teach their children skills and situations related to body care and personal hygiene, promoting good health and cleanliness. Authors Nathalie Belineau and illustrator Sylvie Michelet convey messages about teaching children how to take care of their bodies and practice daily personal hygiene through vivid, simple, and relatable illustrations that depict activities every baby must perform every day.
Not every baby is enthusiastic about daily bathing, but these illustrations will make bath time more exciting for children and teach them how to bathe themselves with the support and guidance of their mothers.
By looking at these images, parents won’t need to explain extensively why their child needs to wash their hands after playing, before eating, and after using the toilet. The illustrations will remind children of the importance of these actions in preventing the spread of bacteria.
The illustrations in the book will help parents teach their children about situations that are very familiar to them. For example, why they should cover their mouth when coughing, why they might get sick from sharing a cup of water with their friends, why they shouldn’t rub their eyes or how germs and bacteria can spread from one person to another. Through vivid and simple illustrations, children can quickly understand what they need to do to take better care of their bodies and health.
