Each year, about 200,000 pacemakers are implanted in the United States. This volume teaches young readers about the importance of pacemakers and how they help those who are suffering from heart conditions. The accessible narrative and fact boxes present this sensitive subject in a way that is easily understandable for early learners. They'll learn how people with pacemakers can live normal and healthy lives. Eye-catching illustrations of colorful characters, such as the heart and a pacemaker, create a fun-filled reading experience that makes a tough topic seem less scary.
