About this ebook
This easy-to-follow informative book brings to the fore why 2020 will be etched in the memory of everyone who lived through it. Starting with new and rehashed words, it charts events of the year in accessible language and is refreshingly non-judgemental. When life returns to 'normal', some of the 2020 phenomena will sound unbelievable, when recounted in future years; this book is a must have for all who will want a quick memento of the year that shook the world, from east to west, and north to south. Events outlined include bringing busy skies, airports, and linked business chains to an abrupt halt, turning the world's busiest city centres into ghost streets and scenes of some reclaimed by previously shy and suppressed wildlife. It captures previously secure global events that were cancelled such as world trade expos, the Olympics, cultural festivals, and sacred religious gatherings - from the Muslim Hajj to Christian Easter. Its colourful illustrations bring to life experiences that were unthinkable a few months earlier, that became not just thinkable but real, as the year evolved. This mother-and daughter project acknowledges the pain that many endured but, it is a reminder that underneath the doom and gloom that dominated headlines lay many positives and opportunities for tech giants and hitherto unappreciated individuals, including centurions. It is unique in having something for everyone, everywhere, in an increasingly polarised world.
Naomi Watasa Lumutenga
This is the second book by mother and daughter duo Naomi Watasa Lumutenga and Taaya Griffith who previously published Covid 19 Heroes in support of NHS workers impacted by the pandemic.
