✨ A Heartwarming Story of Love, Masks, and Learning
When a mysterious light and humming noise disturb her sleep, a curious young girl follows the sound to discover her mother sewing face masks late at night. She learns that essential workers—and everyone commuting to work—must now wear masks.
Despite her initial hesitation, the young girl chooses a colorful handmade mask and, inspired by her mother’s dedication, asks to learn how to sew one herself. Her goal? To create a mask for her grandfather, a frontline hospital worker. The emotional hug they share when he returns home is a moment of hope and gratitude during uncertain times.
This gentle and inspiring bilingual picture book is perfect for children learning a second language, families navigating pandemic realities, or anyone wanting a story of compassion and empowerment.
