COVID-19 Isn't fair! Everyone wants to go out and see their friends, but they CAN'T. Everything is tough right now, so what is a kid to do? This book honestly explains the emotions kids may be going through and gives simple suggestions for ways to acknowledge and deal with each one. A must for any family finding it challenging dealing with the constraints of staying safe during the coronavirus pandemic. Reviews: "This book will help many kids deal with the emotions brought by the pandemic." —Dr. Temple Grandin "Three expressive little kids speak for us all in Jennifer Gilpin Yacio’s COVID-19 Isn’t Fair! Like them, we can learn to cope by doing our angry dance, growing or cooking our food, writing or painting our thoughts, and getting together with the folks we love in a no-touch way. When the pandemic quiets down, like these children, we will use these lessons to climb over the next obstacle and the one after that." —Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA About the Author and the Illustrator: Jennifer Gilpin Yacio is the president of Future Horizons, Inc and Sensory World.
