What is a chromosome, anyway? Why are genes so important? And what does the 22q deletion, duplication or other related syndrome mean for me?
Chromosome Magic: The Science of 22q and You is a colourful, kid-friendly guide that helps children aged 6 to 12 – and the adults who love them – explore the science behind their diagnosis in a way that’s clear, empowering, and even fun.
Through playful illustrations and gentle explanations, this book introduces big ideas like chromosomes, genes, and cells and how changes in our chromosomes can shape how our bodies and brains grow. It also helps children understand that their diagnosis doesn’t define them – it’s just one part of their amazing, magical selves.
Whether you’re a parent looking for words to explain 22q or a child with questions about how their body works, Chromosome Magic: The Science of 22q and You opens the door to meaningful conversations and confident understanding.
