Scott the Shot

James Briggs Raber is a registered nurse who graduated from The University of Alabama in Huntsville. James has been practicing nursing for over fifteen years and has worked in areas such as the Neurological Intensive Care Unit, Outpatient Surgery, and Behavioral Health. Throughout his career he has worked with children and has seen first-hand the terror on their faces when having to get a shot. James hopes that Scott the Shot will educate children on the reason for receiving shots while helping to diminish this real fear. James resides in Huntsville, AL, and is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. He enjoys writing, drawing mazes, and spending time with his family.
