A journey into the wonderful world of your microbiome!
Within our bodies hides an entire world of organisms called microbes.
They boost our immune systems, digest our food, regulate our metabolism
and even impact on our mental health.
Through Katie Brosnan's personable illustrations, we follow the
digestive process from the moment the food enters our mouths to the
moment waste leaves our bodies. Along the way we learn about this
fascinating scientific frontier and gain an insight into the vast
ecosystem that exists inside us.
