We mustn’t work to be another.
Being true, we help each other!

Deep within the body of Divy live five fantastic best friends: Barry Brain, Hannah Heart, Kai Kidney, Leslie Liver, and good ol’ Larry Lung. They all look different. They have unique jobs. And yet they work together in a truly magical manner.

Perhaps he can help pump blood himself! But what will happen if one lone organ neglects its most important chores? That lesson will soon be learned!

A biologic parable that teaches not just science but the power of human unity, this modern classic demonstrates the importance of being true to oneself.

My kids age 5 and 7 loved the illustrations and glossy colors. The story prompted them to ask questions about why Larry lung was behaving a certain way, which was a great conversation starter. There are bonus colouring sheets in the end. Definitely a keeper!
