'I've wondered for years why kids don't get excited about the body. It's never seemed as cool as dinosaurs' 👇
Ahead of the release of his latest children’s book, Amy Gets Eaten, a comical story of a small piece of sweetcorn and its digestion journey, we caught up with Adam to talk about his new book, fears for the NHS and his plans for the future., or watched the award-winning TV adaptation, it's a stark representation of the heartbreak and trauma our junior doctors and NHS staff are facing on a daily basis.
Not only are NHS staff being paid far less in real terms than ever before, but they’re also being put under immense pressure due to staff shortages, forcing them to cover numerous roles as well as their own. “Every single week, two health care professionals in the UK take their lives. Once every three weeks, a doctor in the UK takes their life. These are unthinkable numbers and it's just emblematic of the scale of the problem. There's a lack of support and as well as that, there's a huge taboo surrounding mental health within the healthcare profession.
“I've wondered for years why kids don't get excited about the body. It's never seemed as cool as dinosaurs or space or anything like that, but I think it’s the most amazing, brilliant bit of kit. I started writing for seven to 12-year-olds and I did lots of book events and I realised that adults didn’t really seem to know the stuff that I was teaching these kids, either,” says Adam.
Illustrated by his friend Henry Packer, the book is designed to answer all your child’s inquisitive questions about all things poo, digestion and food that they might have. And we must say it’s perfectly timed, withWith digestion only being one part of the body that our kids are likely to have loads of questions about, we were thrilled to hear that Adam is currently working out what the next picture book is going to be based on.
