Over the centuries, many cultures have relied on favorite remedies to treat colds or the flu. Today, with the availability of over-the-counter treatments, many of the tried-and-true therapies have been forgotten. Because of their simplicity and the fact that most of them are free, the vital role that these natural remedies play in healing and health is often diminished.

This little book will help children and parents remember how to take better care of their bodies while healing. Through a whimsical little poem and engaging illustrations, "I Have the Flu" covers eight natural remedies that can be helpful whenever a "bug" is about. A gentle reminder to visit the doctor when needed is also tucked into this delightful, informative book.
