Very soon little children won’t have to wear a mask ! But until then the book 'Masked Munchkins " simply explains to a young child why they have to wear a mask. The little ones have lots of thoughts in their heads of this very different time in history and what Covid-19 really means to them. The story leads them through a conversation with their parents describing why and how to protect themselves and others from the virus. In this book they will learn,laugh, and look toward a happy ending and easier times to play with friends and see the smiles on faces again.

The author wrote 'Masked Munchkins " during the Covid-19 pandemic to help little ones, two to six years old make sense of their changing world. She was especially inspired by a story on the news of a two year old not wanting to wear a mask on a plane. The child's upsetment ultimately led to the family having to exit and miss their trip. The book easily explains in simple words and childlike illustrations why their world is so different due to a virus. Children do much better if they can be very prepared for changes in their surroundings and what is expected of them. It was the authors goal to achieve this level of understanding in the minds of an inquisitive child.

Children in other words, as you might have guessed, have been the focus of her life. It has been a long time dream to write a book and during the Pandemic "Masked Munchkins" became a reality.
