Helping Our World Get Well: COVID Vaccines is a new children’s book aimed at young children. Written by Beth Bacon, the book, which will be released on Nov. 16, talks about the new things children did during the pandemic. But, of all the new things being asked, the main character has one thing they don’t want to do — get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Help your young family members feel more confident when they get the vaccine with this new book. Available on Amazon.
