30 /22 at age 97. It was a privilege to illustrate her story. #WomenInScience #humanitarian #ChildrensBooks Audrey Evans was a perfect child. Not No one would have expected that when she grew up, she would make an important medical discovery, found the Ronald McDonald Houses, and start a school. Kirkus Reviews calls this "an intimate and rewarding biography of a remarkable doctor" which "repeatedly encourages young readers to believe that they too can accomplish more than they might expect." I am very happy and proud to be the illustrator of the book “Audrey Evans: Not Your Ordinary Doctor”. It is written by Heidi Bright Butler , and published by Bright Pages Publishing. This is a biography of Dr. Audrey Evans, a paediatrician who has been called a medical pioneer for discoveries that improve treatment for children with a form of cancer called neuroblastoma. She is also credited with making hospitals less frightening for children and coming up with the idea for Ronald McDonald houses, that provide families with an affordable place to stay when their children are hospitalized. After retirement, she co-founded a faith-based middle school in inner city Philadelphia.The book includes entertaining stories about her childhood as well as information about her medical career and hobbies. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/.../audrey-evans-not-your...
