About the Book
On a sunny Monday morning, Vi wakes up early and gets ready for school only to discover her school has been shut down. Why? Mommy explains that there’s a virus going around and that it’s not safe for Vi to see her friends. Vi is concerned about this invisible danger and wonders how she can protect herself from something she can’t see.
Inquisitive Vi and the Invisible Creature is an entertaining and educational book that teaches children about the things that can make them sick and how to stay healthy. Author Thelma Aranda Sugay hopes Vi’s story will serve as a reference guide for parents, grandparents, and other caregiving adults of young children during these uncertain times of the COVID pandemic.
Children are constantly looking for answers to their questions to help them feel safe and secure. This book provides a creative yet accurate way of enlightening young minds about our unexplored and ever evolving new normal.
