Amazon CustomerA welcome addition to my home library

“My 6 year old and I love this book! The story and illustrations are beautiful. We admittedly needed to read it over the course of 3 reading sessions because it’s longer than a 6 year old’s attention span but as a parent I appreciate the authors’ ambitious purpose. I recommend the book to every family - vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.”
