She and friend Sharon Jones-Scaife, an author/illustrator, have teamed up to write and illustrate a new book explaining coronavirus in simple terms for children.
The children’s book is called Maddie On A Mission.
The authors collaborated to write Maddie On A Mission to make it easy for children to understand why their worlds have changed so dramatically in the last few months, and to explain quarantine and social distancing in a story that young people can understand, and enjoy.
Dr. Waggoner adds, “Children have a lot of questions like, ‘What is a virus?’
“This book aims to provide a resource to help parents talk to their children about the coronavirus pandemic by discussing germs, quarantine, social distancing, and how staying at home can help to stop the spread of the virus,” Dr. Waggoner said.
