Why We Need Vaccines: How Humans Beat Infectious Diseases by Rowena Rae

5.0

This was a very good introduction to vaccines and included a lot of information that will help kids learn about the history and development of these very important medical innovations. With vaccines and vaccine preventable illnesses so prevalent today, and there being so much misinformation available this book should help middle grade children learn more about the topic so that they are better informed. The sections are short enough that it should keep kids engaged without becoming tedious, but still included enough information to provide a good learning experience. The stories told to help bring context to the information sections often include children so should make the information more relatable too.

The illustrations in the book were also really well done and should both help keep kids interested but also add to their understanding of the topics.
