Description
Ganador del Concurso de libros infantiles de Emory Global Health Institute de 2020.
¿Busca formas honestas pero positivas de hablar con los niños sobre el Coronavirus-19 (Covid-19)? AYUDANTES EN COVID-19 describe la pandemia de forma objetiva pero optimista. Este cuento asegura a los niños y sus padres que muchas personas, incluidos los niños mismos, están ayudando a combatir el virus. En AYUDANTES EN COVID-19, las bellas y coloridas ilustraciones de Kary Lee y las claras y reconfortantes palabras de Beth Bacon explican a los niños que, aunque se sientan asilados e indefensos, no están solos.
De hecho, al quedarse en casa durante la cuarentena, desempeñan un papel importante para ayudar a bajar la tasa de infección de coronavirus. Este libro ayuda a padres, maestros y bibliotecarios a conversar sobre muchos temas de la pandemia, como por ejemplo:
Además, las páginas adicionales explican:
Aun durante la pandemia, las comunidades de todo el mundo cuentan con muchos ayudantes para luchar contra esta nueva enfermedad: médicos, enfermeros, investigadores, científicos, agricultores, camioneros, recolectores de basura, comerciantes, empleados de correo, líderes gubernamentales, periodistas, y hasta niños en cuarentena.
Here's a book that provides children an honest yet positive information about Coronavirus (Covid-19). COVID-19 HELPERS gives kids the facts of the pandemic, but also offers hope. Mr. Rogers said that when things get scary, "Look for the helpers." Likewise, this story reassures children and parents that many people from all walks of life--including kids themselves--are helping to fight the virus. In COVID-19 HELPERS, Kary Lee's beautiful illustrations and Beth Bacon's clear, comforting words help children understand that though they may feel isolated in these times, they are not alone.
In fact, by staying at home during the quarantine, kids are playing an important role in helping to reduce the coronavirus infection rate. This book helps parents, teachers, and librarians discuss many issues of the global pandemic, including:
School closures, park closures, theater closures due to quarantine or shelter-in-place policies
Social distancing
Wearing masks during the pandemic
Feelings of helplessness, isolation, and boredom caused by social distancing policies
Medical research to end the pandemic
Cancelled sporting events, cancelled birthday parties
Plus extra pages explaining:
Facts about Covid-19 virus
What kids can do to avoid getting Covid-19
Even during the global pandemic, communities everywhere have many helpers fighting this new disease, including doctors, nurses, researchers, scientists, farmers, truck drivers, garbage collectors, shopkeepers, postal workers, government leaders, reporters, and even kids living in shelter-in-place quarantines.

Advance Praise
"COVID-19 Helpers is a definite must-have and must-read for the people who are struggling during this crisis.
The book is very useful and helpful for parents, teachers, and librarians who seek to discuss the many issues of a global pandemic. Children will be able to understand why school closures, park closures, and theater closures are vital in keeping the community safe and healthy.
The illustrated book also tackles social distancing guidelines and the importance of wearing a face mask or covering during the pandemic. Bacon and Lee also offer insight and a solution to the feeling of helplessness, isolation, and boredom caused by restrictive shelter-in-place policies.
The COVID-19 Helpers covers all bases and features the latest medical research that discusses the steps that people should take to see the end of the pandemic. It also talks about the various sporting events that have been moved or cancelled as well as birthday party celebrations that have been postponed.
The book ends with facts every child and adult should know about the global health threat and what young kids can do to avoid contracting the virus. Best of all, it highlights the efforts communities, medical workers, farmers, shopkeepers, and other front liners everywhere are doing during the coronavirus lockdown." --Danielle Ong, Latin Post
