Why? You Ask, Do We Wear Masks?
by Morgan Duffy
Why? You Ask, Do We Wear Masks? It’s a fair question these days, and we hope this book helps children understand the reason people are encouraged to wear masks during COVID-19! With delightful rhymes and whimsical illustrations, our children’s book covers why masks are important and easy to wear – and even encourages kids to use their imaginations to find joy in the masked-up world we live in. From providing simple analogies to other daily behaviors we do, like wearing pants, seatbelts, and brushing our hair - it encourages kids to find ease in the discomfort and newness of wearing a mask. It encourages kids to think of masks as something that might be exciting and new - an accessory or an imaginative disguise. Finally, it reminds kids to dispose of used masks in proper, environmentally conscious ways. Overall, this simple children's book provides a greater understanding of the confusing world we live in, on the level of a child. A portion of the profits realized from this book will be donated to providing masks for those who need them.
