Encourage Children to Wash their Hands - A Hygiene Message for Children
Highfield has spent over 35 years publishing world-leading educational books, specialising in food safety.
It has always been challenging to deliver a message that encourages children to wash their hands. ZombieGerm delivers this message in a fun and interactive way.
​
Since becoming a father, it has become clear to author Chris Sprenger that one of the best ways to engage with kids, and encourage them to stay clean, is to tell them fun and disgusting stories.
​
Chris and his wife Becky spent years observing their boys and jotting down notes on how they interacted, and when Chris had enough evidence, he decided it was time to turn their experience into a children's book.
​
When Chris linked up with writer Ben Major, who has a zombie obsession, and illustrator Chris Woffenden, ZombieGerm was born.
​
ZombieGerm provides a great story for children and grown-ups, while giving a subtle message that being clean is a pretty good idea.
Readers’ Favourite - 5-Star Review
The author tackles the relevant topic of washing one's hands in a funny and entertaining
way which will bring smiles to the faces of young readers. Chris Woffenden’s illustrations
make the story funnier and the concept clearer to readers. It is an excellent story for
classroom storytelling and read aloud sessions because it will help children realize the
importance of washing their hands after using the bathroom, after touching bugs and
animals, after picking bogeys, before eating meals, after touching scabs, and after playing
in the dirt. Parents and grandparents can use this book for bedtime storytelling because
it makes it easier for them to help kids understand why it is important to wash their hands
and how to wash germs away.
