We Wear Masks

De: Marla Lesage

Narrado por: Kirstie Hudson

We Wear Masks is a fun tool to help children make sense of this new reality and make wearing masks less scary and more relatable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children have been introduced to wearing face masks and seeing others in masks. Author Marla Lesage normalizes mask-wearing by introducing young listeners to artists, ranchers, pilots, welders, scientists and many more people who already wear masks in their day-to-day lives. This delightful, rhyming book will help explain to children why wearing a mask is important as we interact with others in our communities. Listeners will learn that, when they put on their mask, they are choosing to be kind and considerate of others.

This book can be used as a conversation starter about the pandemic, the spread of germs and viruses, and what families can do to keep themselves and the people they care about safe.

Orca Book Publishers is pleased to offer We Wear Masks in two accessible editions. The audiobook features alternate text descriptions of images, including the cover. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
