book thoughts: Staying home by Joshua Burleson

 

A sweet story aimed at helping children understand the current pandemic and the importance of staying home and social distancing. 

Told in a fun way, that shows an opportunity for children to be hero's too. The story is beautifully illustrated, I especially loved the naughty bear with his trolley full of toilet roll. 

A definite 5 star, great for young children, who are feeling a little confused by all the new rules. 

A big thank you to Netgalley, Joshua Burleson and his publisher for allowing me to read this sweet book for free.

The blurb: When a virus sweeps the land, a family of magical deer must use social distancing to combat the dangerous invader. Are they up to the task?

Enter the magical world of Heartwood, where children's book animals meet medieval, high fantasy. Willow, the eldest daughter, wants to prove she's ready to be a guardian like her parents but is still too young to start her training. When a pandemic strikes the kingdom, the family must come together and find a way to fight back against the virus. Can Willow take on the responsibility of social distancing and prove she's ready to take her place as a guardian?
