If there was ever a book to tell kids the changes and emotions around this virus, Anna and the Germ that Came to Visit is it. We are all dealing with the confusion, fear, sadness, boredom, and loneliness right now, especially our kids. This book talks about those emotions and how to talk to and help our kids through this at that point where boredom and sadness hit.
Anna and the Germ that Came to Visit is written by Mother and Daughter, Christianne Klein and Helene Van Sant-Klein. They have come together as Emmy-winning Journalist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (to name a few of their titles) to tackle this heavy topic for you and your children with this book about the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Make sure you take advantage of the free resources to help children through the crisis are available in a kid-friendly format on the website, TheGermBook.com – including coloring pages to allow children to draw out their feelings, and a song inspired by the book (you can even wash your hands to the shortened 20 second version)!

What a good way to start a discussion and let kids talk about how they are feeling but at the same time give them information in a way they can understand.
Great children’s book. Another good way of explaining this virus to our kids.
I need this book to explain things to ME! 8 weeks in isolation is a long time.
What an interesting book, and should be helpful when talking to kids about this trying time.
I wish this was around when mine were young.
What a cute way to explain to children about germs and help them in reducing the spread of germs.
