Overview
Callie the calf is just your average, run-of-the-mill dairy cow, who spends her days playing in the pastures and having fun with her friends and family. Then, one day, Callie learns of a mysterious illness spreading through her herd. Everyone seems to have a lot of opinions on how to stop the virus, but how is Callie to know the truth? And even if she can, what can just one calf really do to keep her herd safe? Follow along with Callie in "Callie's Quest for Herd Immunity" as she learns all about contagious illnesses, vaccines, and what she (and you!) can do to keep the herd healthy.

My students loved the book The story is well-written and easy to digest in a relatable way. I've read this book to my students and it put the pandemic and other viruses in perspective. Especially during multiple school closures. It really allowed them to engage, share their fears, and understand what's happening. Highly recommend this book for your children. Not just with Covid-19, but for other viruses that exist. Read more
