About this ebook
A small child experiences confusion and uncertainty as she faces physical distancing between her and her father, who is exposed to a new and strange virus at work while caring for others. Through a simple and truthful explanation that all children will understand, she learns that the hardship of going without her father’s hugs and bedtime stories may be the truest act of his love.
Inspired by her work with First Responders and Medical Personnel throughout the Corona Virus pandemic, licensed psychotherapist, Mary Kerwin was determined to find a way to help these individuals and their families cope with the impact of the virus. Together with her sister, Maureen, author and illustrator of the book, an idea was born. They hope that, with the help of this book, families faced with the impact of the Corona Virus are able to find a way to maintain loving, happy and healthy relationships as they navigate their way through these historic challenges with the belief that love really does conquer all.
