    About this ebook

    This story is about a little boy who doesn't feel very well and his doctor says he needs blood work, and Bruce is afraid his blood won't know how to do their work. He meets Shea, who is a Phlebotomist, and they decide to be a team. She shows Bruce just how much blood "is a little bit", which it is not anywhere near enough to fill a juice box, and that blood work doesn't hurt near as much or last as long as having a house fall on your foot or falling down. He learns a lot about how his body works on the inside and that his veins are like juice straws that move his blood around inside of him. Plus why all the jobs his body does are important and how they work together without him having to anything to help, except eat and sleep enough. When Shea teaches him "how to blow the 'ick' out of the stick, he is thrilled because it worked very well so with him doing the 'trick' with Shea. 'Poke pain' never gets a chance to even start. He goes home very proud and happy because blood work is no big deal!

    About Marian-Since born in Cleveland, Ohio, lived in California, Hawaii, and Arizona. Grew up with both parents, two brothers, three sisters, no dogs or cats. Was married 28+ years, two children, four grandchildren.Most of my ‘work background’ pertained to either financial clients or medical patients, but always at the personal contact level.I have always loved writing stories, and started writing e-Books with the intent of creating "story-tools", that are kept in families and passed down like a Tonka truck or Fisher Price toy.* * *
