King Covid and the Kids Who Cared is a story about the novel coronavirus (nicknamed 'King Covid') and the superpower that kids can use to fight back! My hope is that this book (which doubles as a coloring book) might inform, encourage, and empower kids to take part in caring for themselves and others amid the pandemic that we're facing.

Why did I write this book?

Hello there!

​My name is Nicole, and I'm so glad you've visited.

As news of the 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 themselves and for others amid the pandemic that we're facing.

Many thanks to all of you (children and adults) who've helped me and contributed to this project! Thank you to my editors, Mike Lee and Esther Moy, who offered their talented editing skills!
 
Stay safe, and let's continue to use our superpower of caring!

-Nicole

p.s. I hope the book might also serve as a therapeutic coloring book. If you own a printer, please encourage your child to choose their favorite page to color. I would love to see the pages come alive and will feature them on this site! Email them to: [email protected]

Reviews

"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
​
"Andrew (8) has been very interested in knowing what it [coronavirus] looked like, and I think the easy steps helped him a lot to remember how to care." Andrew's Mom

​"It's good for any age because it's humorous, and it's got substantive facts that are actually educational." Kara, 9

​​"I have been searching for written material that could sensitively explain the Covid virus to my grandchildren...particularly why we can't give hugs these days. Now I have found it thanks to you and Jim Braude." Rich, grandfather

"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

"I approve of this book!! It's done with the right level of detail and information that should teach proper basic healthcare to kids and adults alike." Dr. Tom Yuen
