Charles E. Crutchfield III, M.D., Dermatologist, Co-Authors Children’s Book with Mary Mills Barrow on Importance of Educating Children about Sun Protection

Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eagan- October 10, 2012. Every year, millions of children are overexposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. This informative book provides five simple action steps to help children prevent skin cancer. As outlined in the book, little league has started and Charles is determined to keep his friends from getting sunburned. When his dad tells him that sun rays can harm skin of all types, Charles finds ways to use the letters in the acronym SunAWARE to explain why sun protection is so important.
The SunAWARE acronym emphasizes: Avoid unprotected exposure to sunlight, seek shade, and never indoor tan: Wear sun-protective clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide brimmed hat, and sunglasses, year-round; Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sunburn-protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater to all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or as needed; Routinely examine your whole body for changes in your skin and report concerns to parents or health-care providers; Educate your family and community about the need to be SunAWARE
Available in various formats, this book makes a great addition to any child’s reading collection.
