From a NYC dermatologist and Yale-trained physician comes a new graphic novel adventure series combining fun storytelling with skin care education.


Skin cancer, a prevalent global concern, affects more than one in five individuals during their lifetime, with childhood sun damage being a significant contributing factor. Dr. Tamara Lazic Strugar, a renowned NYC-based dermatologist and Yale-trained physician, has introduced an innovative graphic novel series, SKINVENTUREZ, aimed at educating children about skin care while combining entertaining storytelling.


In the first book, "The Sunscreaming Summer", school's out for summer and Mia and Luka's dad takes them and a few friends on vacation for some sun and fun. But after some spooky happenings, the kids start to wonder if their pale dad is a ghost...or is it simply a case of too much sunscreen? On top of that, Luka forgoes sunscreen on a cloudy day and learns a painful lesson. With future titles highlighting conditions like eczema, acne and warts, the debut title is dedicated to skin cancer prevention by educating kids through a fun graphic novel adventure about sun protection.

Industry Reviews

With the huge focus on wellness, health, beauty, and overall general health, there's no better time to learn best practices than to start with youth. In Dr. Tamara Lazic Strugar's Skinventurez graphic novel series for young readers, she wraps up educational nuggets of skin care health with imaginative and fun storytelling.

The first playful tale follows a family and friends who vacation together in the summer and are in for a spooky adventure... and a painful lesson about ignoring necessary sunburn prevention routines.

I was so impressed with the way that this fun story disguises learning about proper skin care protection and attention. Children will love the graphic novel illustrations and the scary and silly adventures, while families and educators of young children will love the informative message that it relays that provides a foundation for future healthy skin care. A must-read perfect for summer reading and back to school.

This book is absolutely adorable! I love the concept first and foremost-to educate kids and parents on skin health. The writing is witty, the plot engaging and funny, the drawings are spectacular! I highly recommend this book. It's the perfect book to give as a gift , and so beautiful to keep in your home. Can't wait for the next Skinventure!

What a thoughtful children's book that was funny and so educational. Habits begin at a young age and after we finished this book our little guy has since brought up sunscreen anytime it's appropriate and necessary for him to wear it. We live in Florida so that is very important. The characters themselves were so adorable sharing their lives and it felt like a children's book that has long been forgotten! So grateful to this talented author physician for helping us make changes in skin health for our children! Loved reading at night with our little guy and coming back to discuss where we left off. Highly recommend and make sure you have a good tube of sunscreen once you start.
