Join Charlie on an adventure to uncover her superpower during a pandemic. From online learning to being stuck at home, Charlie navigates the ups and downs of the coronavirus pandemic with her mother.

Reading this book can help teachers, parents, and grandparents encourage conversation with kids and help them cope with the emotional and mental toll of social isolation and COVID-19 guidelines. During difficult times, Coronavirus Heroes serves as a reminder that we should look out for others, as well as ourselves.
