I want to see my friends! I want to swim in the pool. Why should I wash my hands so many times? Why can't I go out? Why can't I hug someone I know?
As parents of little kids, you may have heard all of the above and more. How do you help your child navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic? World over, children have stayed at home for months, without seeing their friends or going to school and are struggling with the pandemic situation. In this book, Kabir's World Learns Covid Safety, we help explain some of the concepts in a simple way so that children of age group 2-6 years can easily understand. Since we believe that a message can be delivered in a fun manner, like the other books of the Kabir's World Series, this one is also narrated in verse. There is everything in the book that your child needs to know be it the need for wearing a mask, appreciating the goodness of nature walks or reinforcing the good habits of washing hands with soap and social distancing.
Read it to your child or help an older child read it aloud. While the message is pragmatic, the book ends with an uplifting note.
