Lucia and the Wonderful Body Museum

Ages 4–7

When Lucia shrinks down to the size of a crumb, she explores the amazing museum inside her own body and discovers why it huffs, puffs, thumps and grows.

A gentle, accurate introduction to the heart, lungs, bones and sleep that helps kids appreciate and care for their own bodies.

Lucia loved to wonder, to poke and to peek. 'What is inside ME?' she asked with a squeak. Then her magnifying pendant gave a shimmering glow, and she shrank like a crumb, spinning down, down below!

Lucia landed with a bounce on a squishy pink floor, in a glowing tunnel with an archway door. A round little guide came floating with glee: 'Welcome inside! I'm Dr. Pip - follow me! Thump-thump, whoosh-whoosh, grow, grow, grow!'

They zoomed down a hallway all pulsing and red, past streams of warm light that swirled and that sped. 'That's blood, on the go!' said Dr. Pip with a grin. 'It carries good things to every part within!'
