In this uplifting episode of Wonder Boldly, host Christine Santos talks with Dr. Letisha Jefferson, a Jacksonville-based pediatrician and author of the inspiring children’s book Zoe’s Day with Dr. J. Created to help both kids and parents feel more comfortable about going to the doctor’s office, this beautifully illustrated story prepares children for what to expect at their visit, while reminding parents how to model calm confidence and reduce anxiety before appointments.
