Abstract
This study uses design to create a children’s medical picture book that is presented in first-person perspective through illustrations and text that teach children coping strategies for going to a medical visit. Many children fear what they do not understand. Children’s medical picture books are a useful tool to teach children coping strategies as well as what to expect from a visit to a doctor.
