Set against the backdrop of a deadly pneumonic plague in Northeast China, the story highlights Dr. Wu Lien-teh, a pioneering medical expert who identified airborne transmission and advocated for quarantine measures. Despite facing ridicule and discrimination, his innovative design of a cloth and gauze mask laid the groundwork for the N95 mask. Written by his great-granddaughter, Shan Woo Liu, and illustrated by Lisa Wee, this book not only chronicles Wu's achievements but also inspires future scientists to contribute to community safety through small actions.
