The story is told through the eyes of a little girl who feels poorly, falls asleep and dreams about how a medicine is made. Her dream journey takes her from a visit to the doctors to the scientists who come up with new chemicals which might act as medicines.

The story has simple, bright illustrations inspired by children’s own drawings. Teachers can edit the story if they wish to adapt the resource for their own needs.
