Description
Why We Wear a Mask - How a squirrel family is helping to stop the spread of Covid-19
The animals would love for everybody to be healthy. But a horrible virus brought them into a nightmare. What can be done to stop the spread of this coronavirus?
This is how I started making this book:
I worked for 40 years in the emergency department of the university clinic Gasthuisberg in Leuven. When the new Covid-19 wave approached, I thought a lot about my ex-colleagues, how they have to pull out all the stops to cope with the influx of patients.
How could I support them and all of us who are struggling with this pandemic?
I am an Indie author and photographer. I have already published three picture books that gain a close-up view of wildlife in whimsical photo illustrations. Needless to say that I had to make a new book on the importance of wearing a mask. A book that, in addition to providing information, is also pleasant to watch, wouldn't scare children, and has some humor in it. And so "Why We Wear a Mask - How a Squirrel Family Wants to Stop the Spread of Covid-19" was born.
- This book explains in a way that can be easily understood by children what a Covid-19 infection is. It shows how we can stop the spread of this virus and who the people at risk are. The information in this lovely story is scientifically correct and beautifully illustrated with nature photos. Children will read, watch, and listen to it fascinated!

The book is published in Dutch (my mother tongue), and translated into English and French.
