Sophie has written the story of Catching Cory - The Traveling Misfortunes of Cory the Covid as a way for parents to engage in conversation with their children about the Coronavirus. Quite often, parents and adults underestimate how inquisitive, observant, and aware children are of their surroundings, and being naturally curious, children are likely aware of the Covid virus to some degree. While they may not fully understand what a virus is, nor why people are wearing masks, or why their parents may be home rather than at work, young children are most certainly aware of the strange behavior around them and odd words such as "vaccine" they might hear either on the television or from friends. With this book, Sophie has written to a child's level so as the parent can strike their curiosity and explain the issues on the parent's terms, thus easing a child's fear, and helping them understand the realities we face as a nation and world. Sophie hopes you enjoy her book, and find it useful in explaining to your curious child in a fun and engaging manner so as to assuage their fear and help them grow and develop.
