In this episode, we explore the intersection of storytelling and science. Join us as we dive into Eva’s Itchy Adventure, a children’s book created to help kids living with eczema better understand and manage their condition. We’ll discuss the concept of bibliotherapy—using books as a therapeutic tool—and how it can improve outcomes by reducing anxiety, empowering patients, and strengthening connections between families and healthcare providers.
