Dr. Rebello has written two children's books: DareBone's Big Break, about a boy who breaks his elbow. The book is meant to help children and their parents understand what happens when a child breaks a bone and everything that goes into fixing the broken bone. The book is written in easy-to-understand rhymes, but the information is very technical and informative. The second book is Joe Some-More: The Boy Who Lost a Lot and Won Big, a motivational tale using a combination of science, sensitivity and humor about a little boy who fights sugar addiction and overcomes obesity, one of the preeminent problems of our time. Dr. Rebello also started a hospital basement band called The Fever Breakers to sing about social issues.
Recently, Dr. Rebello wrote a piece on Medium.com called I Decided I Was Not Going to Get Offended about promoting racial harmony.
