😷 A Sweet Story of Safety, Community, and Ice Cream
In this cheerful bilingual picture book, young children learn from their families that everyone will now need to wear protective masks and practice social distancing. When their colorful masks arrive, each child heads out—alongside a parent—to the local ice cream shop.
Along the way, they spot adults wearing funny hats to help remind others about keeping their distance. Despite the changes, their excitement isn’t dampened. They wave happily to one another from their spots in line, waiting patiently for their turn. Once inside, each child picks out a treat, then heads home to enjoy their well-earned gelato.
“Masks!” is a gentle, uplifting introduction to new health habits for kids, with a dash of humor and a whole scoop of joy.
