From the common cold to constipation, Ask the Doctor covers a wide range of common questions kids have about their bodies, offering answers from a real-life doctor.

What do the colors of my boogers mean when I have a cold? If I hold my pee too long, could my bladder explode? Why do bruises change color? Kids have so many pressing questions about the stuff their bodies do and what happens when they’re sick. Pediatrician and children’s book author Betty Choi gives honest answers to 52 curious questions in this kid-friendly Q&A, with easy-to-follow, fun comics by illustrator Jannie Ho.
