Kids can do their part to help heal the world and stop the pandemic by getting a COVID vaccine.
After months of wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing, kids have another way to help during the COVID-19 pandemic: they need to get a vaccine. With one little prick, kids can get protection from the virus and, in turn, help protect their family, their friends, and their community. In straightforward language, this book explains to kids how vaccines will help us rid the world of COVID-19 and how they have a role to play in that mission.

“An important resource for parents."—Jeff Koplan, MD, MPH, Vice President for Global Health, Emory University
“A must-read for children to understand their role in fighting this pandemic.”—Parmi S. Suchdev, MD, MPH , FAAP, Associate Director, Emory Global Health Institute
“A gentle and clear way for kids to understand how they can help the world stay healthy.”—Martha Brockenbrough, This Old Dog
“I love this and can't wait to get a copy in my classroom! A young girl has worries about getting a COVID vaccine (it might hurt, she might bleed, etc.) but family and friends gently help her to realize it's the best thing she can do for herself, for her community, and for the people she cares about.
I love that her fears weren't dismissed, but instead she listened and grew and learned to put them in context. She made a brave choice to face her apprehensions in the hopes she could protect the people and things she cared about. That's just the right message and delivered with love and grace.
Kids are working very hard to process everything that's happened over the last 18 months, and this story gives them a relatable tale and simple words to help express what they've experienced and how they might feel about it. I'm so excited to have this resource. It will be a great addition to classroom, school, and community libraries!
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!”—Educator review, NetGalley
