This story explores the thoughts and perspective of a young boy while his grandfather, a farmer who works long hours in the sun, must deal with having his pesky moles removed. The boy confuses skins moles with the small furry animals and imagines that the moles are actually colorful creatures living on his grandpa.

Written by internal medicine physician, Dr. Theresa Aurand, this story sheds light on the issue of sun exposure and provides a platform to teach kids about skin protection.

Key Features
A Book With Purpose
Beyond the giggles and gorgeous artwork, The Mole Book carries an important message. Skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, and teaching children about sun safety can establish lifelong healthy habits. This book gives parents, teachers, and healthcare providers a creative tool to start that conversation—without the scary stuff.
Why Kids Love This Book
The Mole Book taps into the way children actually think. When a child hears "mole," they picture the fuzzy, burrowing animal—not a spot on grandpa's skin. This delightful mix-up becomes the heart of the story, with vibrant watercolor illustrations showing exactly what the young narrator imagines: colorful creatures living on his grandfather.
It's the kind of book kids ask to read again and again, and one that opens the door to real conversations about sun protection, doctor visits, and why grandparents sometimes need a little extra care.
