In this compelling book, Dr. Darshak Sanghavi takes the
reader on a dramatic tour of a child's eight vital organs,
beginning with the lungs and proceeding through the heart,
blood, bones, brain, skin, gonads, and gut. Along the way,
we meet children and families in extraordinary
circumstances-a premature baby named Adam Flax who was born
with undeveloped lungs, a teenage boy with a positive
pregnancy test, and a young girl who keeps losing weight
despite her voracious appetite. In a deeply personal
narrative, Sanghavi provides a richly detailed-and
humanized-portrait of how the pediatric body functions in
both sickness and health.
