COVID is my latest children's book. It tells the story of a little boy who is trying to navigate his way through this past year dealing with COVID restrictions and learning. It is full of rhymes but in no way is it making fun of the seriousness that is going on.
The book is sold on Amazon and for each book sold $1.00 will go to the charity Safe Place.
Why Safe Place?
I think the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has been tough for a lot of people, not just adults, but children as well. Many of them are not in a safe environment right now. Safe Place® designates businesses and organizations as Safe Place locations, making help readily available to youth in communities across the country. Youth may access help at any location with the yellow and black Safe Place sign. They may also access help through the Safe Place texting service, TXT 4 HELP, by texting SAFE to 4HELP (44357).
Safe Place is helping keep our kids safe. So many kids are at risk of immediate danger (even simply walking home from school), human trafficking, bullying, suicide, and a number of other reasons. If kids are aware of Safe Place before a crisis happens, they know where to turn if/when it does. Learn more about Safe Place at www.nationalsafeplace.org.
I am also giving a few interviews this Saturday to promote the book. Stay tuned...
