Sunscreen & Me is a playful and educational children’s book that brings sun safety to life through storytelling, imagination, and real-world lessons.

Follow Lizzi as she prepares for a sunny adventure and learns directly from the sun itself about the power of its rays—both the good and the not-so-good. Along the way, young readers are introduced to important concepts like UVA and UVB rays, the difference between safe and harmful sunscreen ingredients, and simple ways to stay protected while still enjoying time outdoors.

Blending expert skincare knowledge with fun, engaging storytelling, Sunscreen & Me transforms an everyday routine into a meaningful, confidence-building habit. From choosing the right sunscreen to remembering shade breaks and wearing protective clothing, this story empowers children to care for their skin in a way that feels easy, positive, and fun.

Perfect for parents and children to read together, Sunscreen & Me is more than just a story—it’s a foundation for lifelong healthy habits.
