Ingrown Tyrone is a simple children's picturebook that teaches young readers about a common health problem, as well as valuable lessons of self-esteem and acceptance. Ingrown toenails are, of course, a common podiatric problem treated among children of all ages, and young people often learn the hard way how critically important foot care and footwear is. In Ingrown Tyrone, the exploits of a young African-American boy learning to take proper care of himself and respect himself are presented with dazzling, jump-off-the-page full color illustrations meant to captivate the eye and drive home the story. An excellent book to share with young people, whether for storytime, bedtime, or general learning about good health habits.
