Corona Here, Corona There, Corona, You Better Leave This Year! is about the Corona pandemic from a child's perspective, written by Nakeisha Maharaj and her ten-year-old son Cristofer Maharaj. It depicts a curious child's struggle with questions about the pandemic. The child does not understand where Corona comes from and why he cannot visit his other family members for the holidays. He admires the front-line workers and notices people losing their jobs and struggling financially. He does not go to school anymore, and all forms of gathering end. Despite this, he also sees love among families, people creating online businesses, learning the importance of life, and lending a helping hand. The book ends with the introduction of vaccines. Are they the hope for humanity?
Corona Here, Corona There, Corona, You Better Leave This Year! is an accurate depiction of what a child witnessed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Children did not fully understand what was happening and were gripped with fear of the unknown. Written with rhyming phrases and questions, which is perfect for young kids, I loved knowing that Nakeisha and Cristofer Maharaj worked on this book together. It reflects the experiences of many families during the pandemic. Many readers will find this story relatable and share bonding moments with their families. The story is creative, and the illustrations perfectly deliver an emotional tale of the events during the pandemic. Reflect on the events of the pandemic by reading this book with your kids today.
