Timely

Easily understood language, good for the audience it was intended (though the final exclamatory sentence at the end was a bit too much).

Air Hugs for this book

Great book that explains what is going on in the world with the current pandemic. The book breaks down germs, vaccines, those affected, why schools are closed, why kids aren't able to see family members, what they can do to protect themselves, help around the house and talk to parents if they are feeling sad. Our 3 yr old and 6 yr old both listened intently and were able to share what they learned.

Excellent for our kids to understand the pandemic

I listened together with my 9 years old boy. He enjoyed it a lot and I realized he had lots of questions about the pandemic. We paused and talked about them. The book explains beautifully every aspect of the times we are living. I really recommend it.

great help to explain to the kids

This is a great book not only to introduce covid-19 but also as a good reminder of what to do and expect out of this virus.
