Inhaltsangabe

Read and find out about skin in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

From the top of your head to the soles of your feet, you are all wrapped up in skin. Your skin protects your body from germs and dirt. But it is also very sensitive and sometimes needs protection itself. Read and find out about your amazing, strong, and delicate skin.
