When a virus keeps Mira indoors and isolated, she misses her friends. She misses karate. She even misses school. To return to normal life, she must fight the nasty germs, and her imagination runs wild. In the end, it's Mira's use of hygiene and healthy habits that save the day!
Written and illustrated by three moms during the COVID-19 outbreak, microbiologist and epidemiologist Dr. Kristy Bondurant, author Jen Holman, and award-winning artist Cary Smith, this book is meant to help parents explain tough topics like pandemics and social distancing. The beautifully-illustrated picture book delicately reveals to children how viruses spread, what "pandemic" means, and what they can do to help.
Included in the back of the book are a history and timeline of pandemics, as well as a glossary-- all simplified so children can better understand the science behind how viruses affect the world.
