Description
From squishy hands and squishy toes, Covid Monster is causing problems wherever he goes. The children of the world cannot play in playgrounds or visit their grandparents and they cannot wait for Covid Monster’s Mum to call him back home.
This is Marguerite Tonery’s first picture book, who as a psychologist, supports children not to internalise what’s happening in the pandemic world. It’s a book that tells children they did nothing wrong and it is not because of them that they are not allowed to see their grandparents, play with their friends and do all the fun things they love.
Review:
“With all this going on, it’s hard for us and so hard for our littles to understand all of this.
It’s important to share about what COVID is and why we need to stay safe, wear masks, and this new way we are living. All they know is they want to be with their friends and at school. When we return to school, I’m planning to talk about it and let them share their thoughts and feelings. I think it’s important for them to understand and reassure them.
It’s a sweet book about a family and their children who want to play with their friends, see their grandparents, and miss doing the fun things like going to the playground.
It’s a very cute book to help children not be afraid! And I love the illustrations!!”
