Two Irvine high school students (and siblings), Neil and Monica Pal, have written a children’s book focused on helping kids deal with fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neil and Monica’s family owns a Montessori preschool, which allowed them to see firsthand how young children were confused and frightened by the uncertainty in their lives when the pandemic struck.
Wanting to help, Neil and Monica teamed up to write The COVID-19 ABC Alphabet Book, which explains many of the words associated with the pandemic through a colorful alphabet learning series.
The COVID-19 ABC Alphabet Book is currently available for sale on Amazon.
