This book helps explain to kids what is happening with stay-at-home orders. Throughout the story different kids ask to visit family members only to be reminded we can't do that right now, but we will be able to again soon! Even just acknowledging the difficulty of the situation with your child will make it easier. Allowing children to express themselves, and letting them know it is okay to do so, can help with difficult times as well.
