Wilbert the Wombat Social Distances: Teaching Children Kindness and Healthy Habits by Jamie Brooke is a story about a wombat and his friends who live in the outback. One day Doctor Kookaburra flies by and tells Wilbert about a new sickness that is spreading. The doctor tells Wilbert it would be best to stay inside and maintain social distance until a cure is found, so Wilbert tells everyone he knows to stay safe and stay home. Wilbert makes his home as comfy as can be so that he can social distance comfortably. Time goes by and the animals learn to live in this new world until, finally, the doctor comes back with great news.
Wilbert the Wombat Social Distances by Jamie Brooke is a lovely book that helps to explain social distancing to young children. The story uses an array of cute and unique animals from Australia to explain the concept of social distancing and what the best ways are to deal with a spreading sickness. I think this story is exactly what is needed during a time of a pandemic where so many things are changing and, as an adult, it can be difficult explaining to youngsters what is happening around them. This book offers a solution, explaining that by staying home you can make sure no one else gets sick and when you do go out you need to social distance, as some diseases are passed on through the air. This story is not only well written but also educational and I would highly recommend it.
