Description
COVID-19 is a big deal—but with all that adults have to worry about, it’s easy to overlook the pandemic’s impact on children. The Teensy Weensy Virus Book and Song for Preschoolers provides a great way for parents and caregivers to introduce and reinforce the importance of safety measures (like wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing) to children, while giving kids the opportunity to ask questions and share their feelings. Embracing the latest science, The Teensy Weensy Virus pairs simple, kid-friendly explanations with bright, colorful illustrations, while offering additional resources for adults and an informative song (sung to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider) to help lighten the mood as families engage with this serious topic.
Inspired by her concerns for the smallest among us, Retired pediatric nurse practitioner Sherri Rose wrote this book to help preschoolers understand what is going on and why all of us must follow new rules. To spread the importance of these basic safety guidelines, The Teensy Weensy Virus is being translated into multiple languages (including Spanish, Hindi, French, Portuguese) for parents and caregivers all over the world.
