Why did I write this book?
|
Hello there!
My name is Nicole, and I'm so glad you've visited. As news of the novel coronavirus became more alarming each day, I felt compelled to write a book for the kids from my church and community. In the middle of working on this project, I wondered if the book might help other kids as well. My hope is that the story might inform, encourage, and empower kids to take part in caring for others and themselves amid the pandemic that we're facing. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to the book and have encouraged me throughout the process! Thank you, especially, to PoSan Ung and Josh Kluth for your wise input for this version of the book. Stay safe, and let's continue to use our superpower of caring as we look to King Jesus! Soli Deo gloria, Nicole p.s. If you own a printer, please encourage kids to choose their favorite page to color. I would love to see the pages come alive and will feature them on this site!

"Asher (almost 5) laughed several times while I read this book...The superpowers stuck with him and whenever he would wash his hands with soap, he would tell me he was using a superpower." Asher's Mom
"I'm going to wash away King Covid and his army!" Luca, 5
"They're afraid of soap, and they use their spikes to get into cells. They get trapped in the elbow pit!" Timmy, 6
"I love having this resource to talk about "the virus" with my daughter. And I LOVE the addition of the song and verses in the back for parents. But our absolute favorite part was the contrast of King Covid with King Jesus." Josh (pastor)
"It's good for any age because it's humorous, and it's got substantive facts that are actually educational." Kara, 9

"A powerful resource that acts as both a storybook and a therapeutic coloring book, King Covid and the Kids Who Cared is a beautiful tool to help kids handle this collectively confusing and potentially traumatic experience. This opportunity for children to read, sit and color in their 'creative say' into the COVID-19 experience is a wonderful way for families to process well." -Sarah Rumeau, Marriage and Family & Mental Health Counselor
