Germs Go Away!

A Gentle Story About Washing Your Hands

Hand washingAges 3–7

“Wet, soap, scrub, rinse, dry – I did it just right!”

Priya loves to dig, paint and play with her puppy, Biscuit. With Nani’s help, she pretends germs are tiny silly specks and learns how to wash them away: scrub for two “Happy Birthday” songs, cough into an elbow, use a tissue, and keep her own cup and spoon. Soon little brother Dev is singing along too!

A cozy story for ages 3–7 that helps every child remember: Germs, go away – clean hands are the proof!
