The Miracle Doctor

eBook ( April 15, 2016)

DID YOU KNOW that a doctor who lived in China almost two thousand years ago is still helping people get better today?

Hua Tuo was the first person in the world to invent a drink that puts people to sleep when they are having surgery. He also came up with health exercises based on the movements of animals, which people use up to this day.

In this book, discover how Hua Tuo earned the nickname ‘The Miracle Doctor’. Learn all about his life, from his early days when he used clever tricks to be accepted as a medical student, to his tragic end, when he had to spend his last days in jail.

The simple language and beautiful illustrations make this book a wonderful reader or bedtime story. It is suitable for all ages, but children aged 5-12 years will especially enjoy reading this book.

About the Once Upon A Time In China… series
China has a very long history that includes many fascinating stories, but often they are too complex for young children to read. For this series, Jillian Lin has rewritten the most well-known tales in a simple, engaging manner, for children from age five to enjoy. While some stories sound almost like fairytales, they are all based on true historical facts, brought to life with beautiful illustrations. Each book contains the life story of a famous figure in Chinese history, a list of interesting facts, a quiz, and a map.
