Ir’s a book that celebrates the power of perseverance, and grit. It highlights the importance of sharing. It tells us how at times little empathy from our side can create big impact on others’ lives. It’s a book that communicates how there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel.

It’s a must read for every child to know how pandemic has impacted the lives of kids from different backgrounds.

The illustrations are beautiful. Even though the characters are wearing masks, but we can still make out the different expressions they go through on each page. And the end pages of the book, leave you with a smile :).
