If An Elephant Can Wear a Mask So Can You: Animal ABC's

If an Elephant Can Wear A Mask So Can You: Animal ABC's is a delightful animal ABC book aimed at children aged 3 and above, as well as self-readers aged 7 to 9. The book emphasizes the importance of masking up and staying safe through its beautifully illustrated whimsical pages and rhymed verses. 

Its lasting relevance continues from the time it was written in 2020 during the height of COVID 19 through today as the world continues to encounter different variants of COVID 19. In the United States, where masking for K-12 was mandatory for both students and staff, and continue to be encouraged to limit outbreaks, this book is a vital and engaging teaching tool.

"This practical book gives kids and, hopefully, any adults who read or hear it read, inspiration for wearing a mask to protect yourself and others in this Fraught time. The illustrations are masterful and worthy of framing on their own."
