We Wear Masks is a fun tool to help children make sense of this new reality and make wearing masks less scary and more relatable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children have been introduced to wearing face masks and seeing others in masks. Author and illustrator Marla Lesage normalizes mask-wearing by introducing young readers to artists, ranchers, pilots, welders, scientists and many more people who already wear masks in their day-to-day lives. This delightful, rhyming picture book will help explain to children why wearing a mask is important as we interact with others in our communities. Readers will learn that, when they put on their mask, they are choosing to be kind and considerate of others.

This book can be used as a conversation starter about the pandemic, the spread of germs and viruses, and what families can do to keep themselves and the people they care about safe.

Orca Book Publishers is pleased to offer We Wear Masks in two accessible editions. The audiobook features alternate text descriptions of images, including the cover. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

“A timely book. The engaging rhymes and beautiful illustrations representing diverse community members, show readers different reasons masks are worn.” ― Toronto Star

“Will be a useful addition to your collection of teaching resources…Charming.” ― Canadian Teacher Magazine

I really liked how this book showed the many places and situations where people might wear masks (pandemic and non-pandemic related). The text is simple and child-friendly. The pictures are very sweet, too. I also liked how there was diversity among the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool look at different careers from all walks of life!

I bought this before flying with my just turned two year old, since I knew I'd need to have her in a mask during the trip. I love it because it shows there are a lot of different reasons to wear a mask, and there are careers represented that I wouldn't have considered! Generally I'd like my daughter to know to use the correct safety gear for any task as she grows, so I'm thinking this book will remain useful even though I hope she won't have to wear a cloth mask forever. In the meantime, I am pleased to say that she did wear her mask in the airport and on the 2.5 hour flight without complaint (and with only a couple short strategic snack breaks).

4.0 out of 5 stars cute , pandemic , and kid friendly
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020
This was a very cute and appropriate story for young children that do not understand why we have to were masks with the pandemic. I love how the story tells of all the ways masks were worn before the pandemic. This is definitely a book I would get for our library at school and for my grandkids at home. The illustrations fit perfect for the story. The author did very good with getting kids to relate to why we wear masks. Loved it!!!

Thanks to Netgalley and Orca Book Publishers for the early copy for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful way to spread the message that masks can serve many purposes...
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021
In this delightful book written in couplets the author takes us on a journey to see just who does wear masks whether it be for everyday work or pleasure. We visit an artist who wears a mask for protection from paint, ranchers who wear masks to keep the flies out, adventurers who wear masks outside to keep warm, actors who transform with the help of masks, doctors and nurses who wear mask to work.These are just a few examples of people who wear masks. The last page shows a grandpa and granddaughter enjoying each other while wearing masks. The reason? I care about you and you care about me.

Purchased this for a k to 5 school but is more geared towards k and 1. The author even came to our school. A great story that was enjoyed by all.
