Suzie is really excited to be able to stay home with her Mommy, Daddy, and older sister Millie! When Suzie expresses this to Millie, she explains to Suzie why they have been staying home with a quick lesson on Coronavirus.
Inspiration Why We Stay Home was inspired by us wanting to do a very small act to help families have an informative but non-threatening conversation with their little ones. As medical students, we both are passionate about educating the next generation and wanted to create a resource that reflects this but is also relevant to the current pandemic.
What it does Our book answers some of the curious questions little children might have in reference to the virus through a cozy conversation between two sisters. Examples of these questions include, “Why do we have to stay at home?”, “What is Coronavirus?”, “What are the symptoms of the virus?, and “How can we prevent the spread of the virus and protect ourselves?”.
Challenges we ran into One of the biggest challenges we ran into was the process of correcting grammatical errors within the book. We wanted to make sure that we were sharing the highest quality of work with everyone.
Accomplishments that you are proud of? When we saw the finished copy of the book, we were so proud because it turned out to be better than anything we could have ever imagined. We are so happy that we were able to capture a realistic conversations that many little boys and girls will be able to relate to.
What we learned We absolutely love writing children’s books! The process of thinking of ways to get down to their level and inspire them is heart warming.
What's next for the Learning Millie and Suzie series We have big plans for Millie and Suzie and are really excited for everyone to continue learning with them. Our series will continue to teach little ones about the body and also the doctors that care of different body systems!
