ABOUT THE BOOK
Scott the Shot is a fun and fictional picture book that was written to educate children about the main reason for receiving shots. Scott the Shot is a dear friend of the children of Childrensburg. He can often be found playing with children, but noticed that when his friends got sick, their pills and cough syrups wouldn't help them feel better. Scott the Shot decides to begin a journey to find the Medicine Maker with the hope that he can make a medicine to prevent the children from becoming so sick. Scott the Shot finds the Medicine Maker, but runs into an obstacle: the Medicine Maker has made all kinds of medicines to help the children, but can't seem to find a way to inject the medicine into the children's bodies. Scott the Shot suddenly finds himself in a unique position to help the Medicine Maker give these special medicines to his friends.
