About the Book



This book is a short course for kids on what germs are, what they do, and why it's so important to cover them up, block them from spreading, and wash them down the drain.



Book Synopsis



Teach kids proper hygiene, hand washing, and how to stop the spread of germs with this English-Spanish bilingual picture book.

Sneezes, coughs, runny noses, and messy hands are part of everyday life--but kids need to learn how to stay healthy and keep germs from spreading. Germs Are Not for Sharing / Los gérmenes no son para compartir is an engaging English-Spanish bilingual picture book that helps children ages 4-7 understand what germs are, how they spread, and what they can do to prevent illness.

Using simple, kid-friendly language and bright illustrations, this reassuring book teaches essential habits like washing hands thoroughly, covering coughs and sneezes, and making safe, healthy choices at home and school. It's especially helpful for children who forget hygiene routines or are learning to take responsibility for their health.

Part of the award-winning Best Behavior(R) series, this book helps children build lifelong wellness habits and awareness.

In this book, children will:

  • Learn how to avoid spreading germs and getting sick
  • Practice proper hand-washing and hygiene routines
  • Understand why covering coughs and sneezes matters
  • Build healthy habits for school, home, and daycare
  • Make responsible choices that protect others

Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, and counselors, this book is ideal for back-to-school, classrooms, and everyday routines.

Includes a helpful adult section in both English and Spanish with tips for teaching hygiene, illness prevention, and healthy habits.
