About the Author

Era Hitin was employed for 25 years as a teacher and a pedagogical manager at the Sharon Medical Center in Petach Tikva, and for 10 years as the director of the pedagogical center at Schneider Medical Center, the largest children’s hospital in the Middle East. She is an art therapist and a parenting group facilitator.
Era’s first book, Ella’s Questions about Medicine and Health, was published in Hebrew in 1995 and was approved by the Ministry of Culture and Education in Israel as recommended study material.

Era Hitin talks about the book

“The Amazing World of Medicine is a fascinating guide to medicine, for children, parents, educators, therapists. In fact, this is a book for everyone.

The material exposes readers to the day-to-day role of medicine in their lives and makes it part of their world.

This is not another book about the human body and its various systems, but rather a book that introduces and connects the reader to medical science and to how the medical devices that examine the human body in the contemporary reality of our lives work. Thus, unfamiliar medical concepts and terms become familiar and understandable from a technical, personal and social perspective.
Mothers, fathers, grandparents and children…everyone in the family gains medical literacy. This generates an awareness in the reader and a feeling of control over their way of life, which encourages curiosity and leads to further research. This is what makes the book unique."

From a review by Ahuva Oberstein on the website Nurita:

“The book is impressive in scope, form and design—and particularly in its content! There is such extensive and comprehensive information in the book, for children to take an interest in their body, in medicine, and for the anxious children to read about before a medical examination, and of course for the parents who support their child through his or her anxiety and pleasure. The parents themselves will learn something, too. The book has so much information to offer.

Era Hitin has done a great job with this publication. It is a fascinating platform for learning about the complexities of science, anatomy, body functions, the body’s environments, and the interaction with technology that touches on medicine….”
