About This Book
The waiting room smells like clean soap and soft blankets, while the gentle beep of the doctor's tools fills the air. Jenny feels a tickle in her throat, Jack rubs his sore arm, and baby Joey clings tight before his shots. Sometimes visiting the doctor can feel a little scary, but it’s all about getting better and feeling strong again.
