Optimism, hope and bravery. Sadness and frustration,
From boredom to zombies, missing their friends to evil scientists, homeschooling to talking animals, kids aged six to fourteen tell their stories about Lockdown and Covid-19. And it's not always what adults might have expected! (Not once will you find the word 'unprecedented'.)
This is an incredible snapshot of young Victorian children affected by Lockdown and Covid-19, giving an insight into what they understood and how they processed this information.
From short, factual recounts and poems to wonderful, imaginative stories that will have you turning the page to find out what happens next, this book is truly a record of 2020 "in the moment" from young people's perspectives.
This book is a great resource to use with primary and early secondary grades to discuss the impact of Covid-19 and Lockdown on individuals, families and societies. Students will see that their thoughts and feelings were most likely similar to thousands of other kids around Australia.
