Quarantine doesn't have to be all bad; it can actually be a lot of fun! You can ride bikes, play trains, build forts, and watch cartoons. You wash your hands and wear your masks, but you can also bake cookies, sing songs, and write letters.
We Had Fun in Quarantine is a lighthearted account of what one family does to make quarantine fun, as told through the eyes of a child. The colorful illustrations and catchy rhythm seek to capture the imagination of children and make parents laugh as they recall the challenges and fun that they had in quarantine with their little ones.
Written with beginning readers in mind, this children's book serves as an excellent tool for educators and parents alike. It also offers young children a platform to discuss this historic pandemic, the effect that it has had on their lives, and the fun they had in quarantine.
