New Jersey


One morning in March 2020 a child wakes up and gets ready
for school only to be told by Mom that he/she has to stay home—it’s a rule. The
child doesn’t understand, is upset about no longer being able to play with
friends and do many “normal” things like go to the playground, the movies,
school or anything outside their home or family. The mother then tells the
child about the pandemic—the deadly virus that’s “sneaky and quick.”
Accompanied by illustrations, she explains how easily the virus spreads, how it
can make some people very sick, who the heroes are who help the people who need
hospital care, along with the many essential workers we count on. The child
learns that by doing “stay safe” things like staying physically distant,
wearing masks and washing hands they become “Hero Helpers.” Highlighted are
many positives about staying home, and lots of “stay at home” activities,
including a surprise “fun” idea Mom has the family do. The child is reassured
that, until the doctors say it is “safe” again, they will visit friends and
family virtually, continue to be grateful for the good things, and how they
will stay strong till this pandemic passes.
