Alexandria, the queen of Quarantine Angela L Exum

This book highlights the experiences of living during a global pandemic through the eyes of a child. Through her words, actions, and thoughts, Alexandria a 5-year-old, walks us through the issues that she, her parents, and siblings experienced due to the Covid-19 pandemic: job loss, sheltering in place, social distancing, etc. This book is intended for use by educational institutions/ programs, parents, and children. It can be a useful tool in order to help start the sometimes difficult conversations that adults must have with children in order to help them process and understand coping with anxiety, adjusting to change, and expressing their feelings. It can also help adults realize that children do not always understand things as they are, but as they perceive them to be at their present level of understanding. Useful tips can be found in the index that will help guide in the planning of safe meaningful conversations, and structured virtual educational information for children.
