created different books for different specialties, including neurosurgery for kids, which is one of our latest release. so many other specialties. but what we realized that we lacked while creating all these books was a book that actually taught children what they would be experiencing during a doctor's visit. and so that's what we that's what really motivated us to create educational for children, and, and, and then came about her i see the doctor >> all right. well, doctor bett& and doctor brandon, i want to thank you for writing this book. even though it might be a little too late for my kids, i think that they're past that. but a lot of parents are saying, yes, i need tips. and this includes tips to make the visit a little bit less scary. so thank you so much for writing the book and much for joining us. >> thank you. thank you so much for having us. the silicon valley is gearing up for theúworld stage.
