Every day, while counseling children and their parents, I hear a lot of questions and requests for advice. How to strengthen a child's immunity? Why do some children get sick often and others only once a year? How do chronic diseases develop, and how can we help children develop their immune systems properly? The development of immunity can be compared to a constant, uninterrupted, and ever-improving process of studying and checking homework.

This book is a short story about the children's immune system: what it is made of, how it develops, and what challenges await it. The language of science is not easy, so I tried very hard to visually explain why particular diseases attack, what the immune system does at that time, and how to help a child with diseases typical of his age. Only by understanding why children are sick can we avoid medical errors and help the little ones grow up healthy. After all, a good start in life is half the battle.
