Wet body

The 2022 Bologna Best Nonfiction Children's Book, a humorous body science book based on "body fluids." Here comes the "shit, piss, and fart" that children are most interested in—wet, sticky, and smelly!
💧 Editor's Choice★ Winner of the Bologna Best Nonfiction Children's Book Award, this book explores the secrets of the body through children's favorite "shit, piss, and fart." Our body's various fluids ensure normal cellular metabolism and organ function: sweat dissipates heat, urination eliminates waste, and mucus in the respiratory tract warms the air we breathe in when cold air hits. These familiar fluids, like snot, tears, and sweat, actually carry so many important roles! Understanding these wet bodily fluids is understanding our own bodies.
★ Seven Waters in the Body: 28 large-scale structural illustrations connect the five major systems of the human body. These fluids flow throughout the body, serving as the secret key that connects these systems. From observing fluids to thinking about them, from the organs that secrete them to the structure of human tissues, this book explores the mysteries of human function from the smallest details to the largest. Through the seven types of water and their water-containing substances—tears, saliva, sweat, blood, snot, feces, and urine—understand the five major systems: the digestive system, the respiratory system, the urinary system, the circulatory system, and the nervous system.
★ Concise and vivid explanations, quirky and humorous illustrations illuminate science with humor. Instead of memorizing technical terms, this picture book uses vivid metaphors and examples to make it easier for children to understand: the bladder is like a small balloon; snot acts like a mosquito net to trap hairs; sweat regulates our body temperature like air conditioning, and eyelids and tears act like windshield wipers. With playful onomatopoeia, playful colloquial expressions, and exaggerated humorous illustrations, this picture book is both a science lesson and a fun and entertaining read.
★ Featuring a vibrant candy-themed color scheme and a striking artistic style, this book includes a fun pull-out page illustrating the human body. Each section features a unique candy-themed color, cleverly echoing the corresponding bodily fluid: turquoise for snot, bright red for blood, golden yellow for urine... The vibrant colors create a striking style. Four additional pull-out pages cover earwax, bile, lymph, farts, burps... From head to toe, discover more about the secrets of wetness.
💧 Introduction: Why is snot sometimes yellow and sometimes green? Why do I always have eye mucus after waking up? Why does sweat smell?
Our bodies are made up of over 60% water, and even newborns, up to 75% water—literally, a tiny ball of water! This water ensures the proper functioning of various organs and is crucial to the body. It's ubiquitous, taking on many forms and possessing countless functions.
The book introduces seven types of water and water-containing substances from the body: tears, mucus, urine, feces, saliva, blood, and sweat. It provides a detailed and scientific introduction to their origins, production processes, related organs and structures, and their effects on the body.
💧Media recommend this encyclopedia about bodily fluids, which cleverly combines scientific accuracy with the humor of picture books, and the vibrant colors add a touch of artistic flair. — Berta Páramo, jury member of the Bologna Children's Book Fair.
