Bounce Back! Alanna Zabel

Bounce Back! is a children's story around Dr. Rooby Bounce, a kangaroo front line doctor fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. Her husband, Boomer, is an outback firefighter and her son, Josey, a blossoming hip hop artist and DJ. We watch as Josey has to not only deal with the pandemic related lockdown and not going to school or seeing his friends, but also the fear that his ER doctor mother (Dr. Bounce) may get sick while treating others inflicted with the COVID-19 virus. This is a light-hearted, yet emotional journey. As time goes on, Josey grow stronger and more compassionate. By the end of the story, when the community is joyously reunited, Josey shares the song that he wrote during the lockdown, encouraging others to keep their heads up: Bounce Back!For more information or to order a Dr. Bounce plush doll, visit www.drbounceback.com
