Kids can do their part to help heal the world and stop the pandemic by getting a COVID vaccine.After months of wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing, kids have another way to help during the COVID-19 pandemic: they need to get a vaccine. With one little prick, kids can get protection from the virus and, in turn, help protect their family, their friends, and their community. In straightforward language, this book explains to kids how vaccines will help us rid the world of COVID-19 and how they have a role to play in that mission.

As a kid, if Kary Lee wasn’t in her backyard painting or tapping at the typewriter, she was most likely directing (bossing around) the neighborhood kids in one of her screenplays. After college, she landed a job as an art director because she liked the bossy part. She took a painting class and won a book illustration award. Five books and a Mom’s Choice award later, she’s never looked back. Kary lives in Seattle with her husband Charles and a backyard bunny. Visit her website at KaryLeeStudios.com.
