Overview

Have you heard of DNA? It is more than just a double helix. It affects how you live, what you look like and sometimes how ill you could be. Alina is part of your DNA. Along with Tristan, Gina, Crispin and billions of cousin she will show you just how important DNA is and exactly how it works. Affecting millions, Sickle Cell Anaemia is an inherited disease. It's biology is a demonstration of how oxygen gets circulated through the body and the disease an illustration of how a small change to your DNA can have massive health consequences. Set to turn medicine on its head, genetics is the study of DNA, genes and chromosomes. Together Alina and her friends make up the Dinky Amigos and a child friendly introduction to this subject and how it works. A gentle introduction to genes, chromosomes, inheritance, oxygen transport and sickle cell anaemia for 9-12 year-olds, this non-fiction narrative will open up the world of biology and enhance their understanding for the future.
