Ava Anderson My dad’s big heart

Age 7

5-8 year olds

I chose to draw my dad because I admire what he does. My dad takes x-rays of old people, helping them to get better. He does this every day. His job is very important for all doctors because his x-rays can detect any small changes in the human body that can be bad. He has a big and kind heart to do this.
