This is a very strong book with a lot of information packaged in a way that is useful and not overwhelming for elementary aged kids. I found this book would be a good jumping off point for a class discussion or a talk because although it answers some questions it doesn't really tell you how people contract HIV. I thought the book was done in a tasteful way and represented that HIV only lives in a persons blood not their tears, sweat or saliva. These facts are so important because most kids associate AIDS and HIV to bad people or bad things and that is not always the case. People who have the virus are moms, dads, teachers etc. and it makes children comfortable knowing more about these things and having the confidence that although the virus itself is bad the person is good and not contagious unless they are bleeding, cut etc. I think this book could be very useful in a classroom especially if you know of a child or a parent that has the AIDS/ HIV virus.
