When something huge (ahem, a pandemic) happens in a child's life, everything they know is thrown into chaos. Kids (like the rest of us) handle change best if they know what to expect, both on a day-to-day basis and long-term.

Join Stinkerpants and her stuffed giraffe Stuart as they explain the basic science of a virus and how social distancing affects a kid's day-to-day life. Using an illustrated calendar to explain how staying home affects a child's daily routine, What Happens When the Coronavirus Changes EVERYTHING? focuses on the child's experience and removes unknowns from the equation. This book uses bright and fun illustrations to show how the coronavirus affects the body and how we can help stop its spread, in addition to what we can do to make our day-to-day lives easier while staying inside.

Stuart wants to know what happens to our days when we're staying home because of the coronavirus." By creating a routine that kids can see and understand, parents can restore a sense of safety and predictability in their kids' lives, helping them to be more resilient in the face of life's inevitable challenges.
