Sumario:The article discusses the potential of children's literature to raise awareness and prevent kidney disease, focusing on chronic kidney disease (CKD). It highlights the lack of knowledge in the general population about CKD and its implications, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment. The study conducted with students and their families showed a significant improvement in knowledge about CKD after a workshop, indicating the potential for children to act as agents of health promotion. The article calls for increased awareness and education about CKD, especially in schools, to improve public health outcomes and reduce disparities in access to treatment.
