Reviews
'I recommend this book for all families with young children around the world who are experiencing the epidemic and measures of social distancing.
This 'guide' book, with cheerful illustrations and colors but 'scientific' clarity, gives clear answers suitable for children to make them understand the momentary reality they are experiencing, without stress or exaggerated fears. It is a very pleasant and helpful reading for families and children on the medical topic of the moment. '
