Even the animals in Australia are socially distancing! Mysterious flu has spread from the brightly colored lorikeets to their friends and neighbors, and it's making everyone very anxious. Doctor Kookaburra and the first line workers at Gum Tree Hospital are helping to take care of the sick animals. But Doctor Kookaburra also needs to come up with a cure and stop the spread quickly.
Wilbert the Wombat and his friends in the animal town of Fig Tree are told to spend more time at home and practice social distancing when out and about.
And this is how this picture book's heartwarming story of self-care and compassion begins. Wilbert must learn how to take care of himself so that he and his friends can be healthier and not spread the flu any further.
If they can succeed, Wilbert and his kangaroo, wallaby, flying squirrel and emu friends can save many lives and travel to adventurous places again! Do you think they can do it?
This rhyming book for kids is a culturally relevant and very relatable tale as it parallels the current coronavirus pandemic affecting the world. It is a beautifully illustrated children's book about Wilbert the Wombat and his Aussie friends, and helps kids and parents alike learn why we stay home, wear masks, social distance, and show compassion during an unexpected pandemic similar to Covid 19.
This school-age kids book is for young readers aged 5-8 years old. It is also for parents and teachers with children of any age. And last but not least, for the kids at heart. There is no age limit to the magic that lives in books.
