REVIEWS

“This book is marvelous! Aimee has a way of taking a hard topic and making it palatable for children without glossing over any of the details. In this, her 2nd book, she helps us see who the heroes were during the Pandemic and what we should be thankful for.”

“I love how this makes such an amazing connection to life now through the eyes of the dog who honestly see’s us everyday. The perspective is honest and true, but also relatable to children so they can understand. It is well written, and I absolutely love the flow from the author’s first book, The Day the Humans Stayed Home!“
