Our children's scars are a badge of honor - the markings of a survivor. But how do our little heroes answer that one question they get so often?"So, how DID you get that scar?"
How'd You Get That Scar? by Erica Smith Billups is a children's picture book that explores a world of silly scenarios and mischievous mishaps that could definitely leave a mark - or a scar in this case. From tussles with tigers and wrestling gators, to spelunking, and avalanches, and runaway elevators! Let your child's imagination run wild, while also letting them know they aren't alone in their scar journey.

• Written by mom of two, Erica Smith Billups. After her son had to his first craniosynostosis surgery in 2011 at just 4 months old, she lifted the mood by musing about how Deacon would explain his humungous scar one day - a wavy line running across his head, from ear to ear. Those thoughts then became How'd You Get That Scar? aka "The Scar Book" almost a decade later.
