Readers’ Comments
“I liked this story very much. It’s a bit scary this Covid thing, so it’s good to see a character in a book going through it too.” Boy reader, aged 8
“A book of this nature is excellent in a school library. It’s informative but not scary for the child. Also, they can relate to the characters as they are experiencing it too. The wonderful illustrations also help!” Primary school teacher, aged 56
“This is a confusing time for children; a book like this might help them to understand what’s happening and might even help them to cope with it. Well-written using accessible language.” Parent, aged 39
“This book helped us to discuss the pandemic in class. I thought it was helpful and I understood all of it.” Girl, aged 8
To Sum It Up:
‘A superbly illustrated and highly accessible picture book, perfect for helping a young child to understand and cope in a Covid world. A FINALIST and highly recommended!’ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
