5 Minutes for Books: If Your Kid Eats This Book, Everything Will Still Be Okay

Raise your hand if you’ve ever stood in front of your sick child trying to figure out if her symptoms warrant a middle-of-the-night call to the pediatrician service, or if you can cuddle her back to sleep and figure it out in the morning. Is there any parent reading this without a hand in the air? And that question didn’t even factor in the whole question of an ER visit! Being a parent is never an easy job, and making informed decisions about how to best react to the many, many symptoms of sicknesses that come and go throughout the childhood years is one major challenge. Well, Dr. Lara Zibners, an emergency room pediatrician, answers our queries with If Your Kid Eats This Book, Everything Will Still Be Okay: How to Know if Your Child’s Injury or Illness Is Really an Emergency.

The things that kids can put in their mouths, in their ears, and up their noses, along with all the bumps, cuts, falls and other assorted childhood injuries can make a mom go crazy with worry. Dr. Zibners’ guide to assessing many of the common issues that affect children is a refreshingly calm and reassuring resource. With tongue-in-cheek humor, Dr. Zibners keeps the mood light even while she’s providing usable information in parent-friendly terms (read: non-medically trained parents!). Having been perplexed more than once in my almost 9 years of parenting, I can appreciate this book’s value, and I’m sure that I’ll have reason to pull it off the shelf again sometime in the near future!

Great news– Leave a comment here and one of five copies of If Your Kid Eats This Book, Everything Will Still Be Okay can be yours! (US and Canadian residents only.)

The winner of the Babycakes cookbook is #11 – Amber.

You should have received an email asking for your shipping info. If not, please send it to us so that we can fulfill your prize.

At this very moment, it’s highly likely that Dawn is either reading a book or bandaging up a scraped knee. Details can always be found on her blog, my thoughts exactly.

    What a wonderful book for any parent! I’ve been so fortunate that my children don’t get ill often but when they do I’ve always asked these same types of questions about how to handle it and how serious it is!

    Thank goodness for this book. As a first time parent to twins, I am paranoid about everything. This would help me relax about raising them.

    I’m so excited to see something like this & will have to check it out. As a mom with my first child – now 17 months old – I’ve already found numerous times when I wasn’t sure what to do. To have some of the basic answers right at my fingertips will be great!
