About the book
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. Her story mimics many others and offers the chance to learn about a secret power each of us can use.
Several Bowdoin College students intentionally wrote and illustrated Coronavirus Heroes to address the frustrations of children living through the COVID-19 pandemic. 
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.

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author. 
Tom Seymour, author of Wild Plants of Maine and many other titles.
