Susie Bazil is the author of the award-winning children’s tale The Sick Bug, a story that was inspired by a conversation with her three-year-old daughter when she had the flu. The Sick Bug has received nationwide praise for its unique and intuitive spin on what it means to catch a “bug” (cold) and has become a favorite of children and parents alike, no matter who has the temperature! In addition to being featured in the LA Times Festival of Books in April 2010, The Sick Bug has become an effective instructional tool with elementary teachers and school nurses everywhere. The Sick Bug Goes to School is a charming follow-up to The Sick Bug which takes place in an elementary school classroom. Combining engaging dialogue and eye-popping illustrations with everyday classroom-appropriate hygiene lessons, The Sick Bug Goes to School is destined to be another hit in schools and at home!
