In What Does a Real Doctor Look Like? lets Kylee and Kaylon kids discover that doctors can look like anyone – even them!

For marginalized children, the Real Doctor range is a window into a better, more inclusive future with equal opportunities for all.

From K-12 teachers to STEM project leaders, the Real Doctor series is an essential addition to any library.
As a black doctor who did not see anyone who looked like her in a medical field until she was 10, Dr. Roth, that so many marginalized children believe that the future in STEM is simply meant for someone else.
