In this guest interview episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Dr Saneisha Roberts about her first children’s book, ‘Amari goes to the Doctor’. Going to the doctor can be a nerve-wracking experience for many children. 'Amari goes to the Doctor' is a picture book that aims to relieve this anxiety by showing children what they can expect from their doctor's visit - the people, the instruments, the physical exam, and more!

Listen in to this dynamic episode as we discuss:

- Dr Roberts’ journey towards becoming a pediatrician
- How the idea for ‘Amari goes to the Doctor’ came about
- The importance of representation of diverse characters in children’s books
- The talent behind all the beautiful illustrations
- Dr Roberts’ goal for every child visiting the doctor
- How physicians and other healthcare workers can support a child’s emotional and mental health

...and much more!
