Pesticides Nearby But Healthy: A Guide to Protect Children from Pesticides is an illustrated pesticide safety comic book from Migrant Clinicians Network created for migrant and seasonal farmworker families. It helps parents and families understand children’s risk of pesticide exposure and ways they can reduce that exposure and protect their children’s health.

Written in an engaging, easy-to-understand format, the comic can be used for pesticide safety education, farmworker and agricultural worker outreach, parent education, community health programs, and environmental and occupational health education. It can also serve as an educational resource for community health workers, promotores de salud, outreach workers, clinicians, and others who work with agricultural communities.

In 2026, the Hawai'i Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity partnered with MCN to translate the comic into five additional languages. We are proud to offer these translations and celebrate the partnership as an example of how agencies, organizations, and communities can build on existing educational resources to increase access for workers and families with diverse language needs.

The comic is available to download at no cost and can be shared digitally or printed for use with farmworker families and communities.

We are currently "sold out" of our printed pesticide comic book. We are looking for additional funding. In the meantime, please download an e-copy.
