Why read it?

1 author picked We Wear Masks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I am partial to picture books that are simple and emotional. As we continue on for so many months making the extra effort to wear masks in our daily lives, there’s something heartening in seeing pictures of other people happily wearing masks on the pages of this book. The text is written in sets of rhyming pairs, which are sometimes a stretch. I appreciate that…

From Beth's list on for kids about COVID-19.
