Dirt is good


My son was digging in the dirt a couple of days ago and it made me think of a great book I read. It's called Why Dirt is Good, by Mary Ruebush. It's actually kind of reassuring to know that my kid's love of mud is actually helping strengthen his immune system. In the book, Ruebush covers our immune system, superbugs, antibiotics, vaccines, and lots germ talk. It sounds like it would be scary subject matter for a parent, but it actually is empowering.
