About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their young child is feeling overwhelmed, confused, or anxious about the physical changes in public spaces, such as seeing people in masks or having to maintain distance from friends. This gentle guide validates a child's feelings of loss regarding their old routines while providing a clear, age-appropriate framework for understanding why these new safety measures exist. Through simple language and relatable scenarios, the book emphasizes resilience and the power of collective care. It is an ideal tool for children aged 3 to 7 who need reassurance that while the world looks different right now, they are safe and this new way of living is a way for everyone to help one another. It helps bridge the gap between fear of the unknown and the comfort of understanding.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with the global health crisis in a very direct but secular and non-threatening way. It does not focus on illness or death, but rather on the physical manifestations of safety (masks and distance). The resolution is realistic and hopeful, focusing on adaptation rather than a return to the previous status quo.
