Book
Snot, sneezes, and super-spreaders : everything you need to know about viruses and how to stop them / Marc ter Horst ; illustrations by Wendy Panders ; foreword by Dr. Jennifer Gardy ; translated by Laura Watkinson.
If we didn't know it before, we certainly know it now: Viruses can be powerful--so powerful, in fact, that they can hold the world in their grip for months at a time. But what exactly is a virus? Where do they come from and what do they do to our bodies? How do they spread, and what can we do to protect ourselves? Author Marc ter Horst tackles these questions with playfulness and humor, while Wendy Panders' quirky and enlightening illustrations bring the text to life. -- Provided by publisher.
