Your blood travels around your body but what does it really do all day?
Alina and her Dinky Amigos friends are known as your DNA and make the instructions that help your blood carry oxygen from your lungs to keep you alive. Especially important are your round, red blood cells which can carry lots of oxygen.
But when a mistake causes these cells to burst, they can’t carry oxygen anymore and everything goes horribly wrong. Can Alina and her friends save the thing they care about most – you?
A true story about your blood and you.
