This is a biography of Dr. Audrey Evans, a pediatrician 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 with coming up with the idea for Ronald McDonald houses to provide families with an affordable place to stay when their children are hospitalized. In 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. In a review, a teacher wrote, The book is more than a platform for encouraging ambitious career goals. It includes references to history and geography, instances which demonstrate character development, and nuggets of wisdom about the value of caring for others. In its pages readers will find compelling lessons about growing up to live a meaningful life.

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.”
Most popular with children in Grades 2-6, but inspiring for all ages.
