"YESTERDAY we could go to our classrooms in school and our parents went to work every day. TODAY some of our parents stay home from work and we are home schooled."
Once again, meet Daisy the cat and her three canine friends, H-Dee, Smokie, and Rocky, as together they face a worldwide pandemic.
The story tackles the Covid-19 pandemic and how everyone's life changed in just one year.
Daisy and Friends What Happened to Yesterday: A Covid-19 Story
begins with the definition of the words pandemic and essential workers. The story then explains the changes in our daily lives before and during the pandemic.
"Pandemic: When many people in a country or even all over the world have the same illness."
"Covid-19: A flu-like illness that passes from one person to another person when they have this illness by sneezing and coughing without covering their nose and mouth. Another way people contract Covid-19 is touching something that the affected person has touched. Some people do not know that they are sick with the Covid-19 until a few days after when they show symptoms of the illness. This is the reason why everyone needs to wear their masks in public, sanitize and wash their hands frequently, and stay six feet away from people they do not live with."
Inspiration for the author's books comes from her working over 20 years as a pre-school teacher observing children at work and play.
