The year 2020 started off normally, but pretty soon things started to get different and weird and scary. A virus was quickly spreading in faraway countries, and then, before we knew it, it was here in America. Schools closed, trips were canceled, and everyone started wearing masks and gloves and staying inside to stay healthy. With everything so different and everyone so worried about getting sick, it was hard to not feel at least a little scared about what was going on. An Ordinary Kid in Extraordinary Times is an account of a young girl's life gradually changing as the effects of a global pandemic unfold around her. It highlights new words, new practices, and new experiences that children may have been exposed to recently, making it a story kids can learn from and relate to easily. Author and educator Roz Liberman reveals the silver lining in these unprecedented times: as long as we support each other as a family and as a community, we can get through anything--together.
