Raising two preschoolers and constantly surrounded by scary news, I wrote this book as a way to envision a happy ending during the pandemic. As such, this story is lighthearted. It is not meant to downplay the very serious pandemic but to capture the resiliency of the human relationships in the middle of a storm. Hope you enjoy.
