The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults.

As part of the AAP mission, the AAP publishes a number of books for parents. All are written in straightforward language and are based on sound medicine and commonsense advice from the nation’s top pediatricians.
