Children's book to explain kidney failure?

Hey guys, hope you are all keeping well!
I am currently doing some work in a primary school and you know what children are like, very inquisitive! My fistula blew on Monday and so my arm swelled up and was black and blue, I covered it with a plaster so the kids didn't have to see it, although they still asked questions! I was a bit taken a back and replied with I had an operation a while back and my arms a bit bruised, when asked what had happened to it (it was all i could think of on the spot).
Anyway... my question is, do you know of any books that explains kidney failure to young children?! not sure I'll end up telling them, its just a thought at the mo!?
Thanks in advance x
