“What an adorable (and timely) book! With simple words, charming pictures, and a relatable story, author Laura Kirby and illustrator Marcy Tippmann address many of the challenges children around the world are facing today. From how to adapt to a changing routine, to the distressing realization that parents don’t have all the answers, to the need to come to terms with uncomfortable changes required to stay healthy. This book will immediately strike a chord with children and parents who have lived through the global pandemic, and will continue to resonate long after it has passed.”
