For Felicity, with a new virus spreading in her community, she learns to focus on quality time with family, and appreciating what she has. Her parents provide her with a sense of hope for the future, compassion for those less fortunate and gratitude for those working to serve and protect us. Join Felicity in this playful and comforting tale as she learns to understand life in social isolation and how to cope during a challenging time. Felicity notices the quietness of her neighbourhood, and ponders why she cannot see her grandparents or friends. She learns about how valuable services, like garbage collection and recycling are, even during a crisis, while imagining the quirky robots who do some of the garbage sorting. The virus is explained in simple terms which children can easily understand. These new "bugs" are not to be feared, but the risk they pose to the community is key. This simple tale engenders compassion for those who are not so fortunate. It encourages us all to focus on being present, appreciating how fortunate she is to have time with family, and grateful to service providers and medical professionals working so hard to keep us all safe. Most importantly, this story is about hope.
