Your body. How it works and changes

How much does our skeleton weigh? What does the brain do during sleep? Why is blood red and snot green? What happens if you don't brush your teeth for a month? Why doesn't a person have a tail? Why do some people have curly hair and others have straight hair?

Scientist, general practitioner, candidate of medical sciences Maxim Kaltygin answers these and other children’s questions. A book for curious children aged 8-12 and parents who are perplexed by questions about the body. It talks in detail, but without academics, about the main organs and systems, about the processes that take place in our body while we are busy with everyday activities. The artist Anastasia Druzhinskaya created accurate anatomical drawings and filled the book with living modern heroes - children and teenagers, in whom the reader can easily see themselves.

On a large central spread with flaps there is a chapter on the skeletal system and a panoramic human skeleton, and at the end of the book there is a story about the parts of the body that we see in the mirror, but whose names we do not know, and tasks for children.
