This 16-page, full color, Spanish language
comic book targets migrant and seasonal farmworker families and helps educate
parents about children's risks to pesticide exposure and ways to minimize these
risks. It was developed in 2003 by Migrant Clinician Network (MCN) and Farm
Safety 4 Just Kids (FS4JK) and funded by the National
Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCC). The 40,000 plus copies that were
distributed after its first printing have been extremely well received. Thanks to generous funding from NCC,
this comic book is now available again. Contact
Farm Safety 4 Just Kids to get your free copies of the book. There will be
shipping and handling charges applied to each order. 1-800-423-5437 www.fs4jk.org.
