  A Lyme disease survivor explains tick-borne maladies in “a straightforward, nonfrightening way . . . A useful guide to avoiding a dangerous bug” (Kirkus Reviews).   This children’s book teaches strategies for preventing Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Through the story of Alex and José, children will learn about José’s discovery of a hidden danger (a tick) and how their activities may put them at risk of getting a tick bite.   “I can envision a parent using this book to start a conversation with their children on why it’s important to watch out for ticks and ways to do that. There are helpful pages on how to check yourself for ticks and if you find one, how to remove it. A list of educational resources is included in the back of the book.” —LymeDisease.org
