Publisher: Lerner | Format: Hardback (pages: 32) | Author: Heather DiLorenzo Williams Age: 10 to 13 years | Release Date: 01/12/2020 SARS-CoV-2, or the “novel coronavirus,” has caused a global pandemic. In early 2020, the virus reached nearly every corner of the globe and infected millions. Every country has taken steps to contain it, resulting in a global economic shutdown. This “Big Pause” has even impacted pollution levels around the world. In this series, readers will take a look at the COVID-19 crisis. This high/low series helps students understand the virus, its impacts, and how the world has reacted and offers a hopeful look at what a post-COVID-19 future might look like.

The Science of the Coronavirus ISBN: 978-1728428000

COVID-19 has taken the entire world by storm. Many of the smartest people on Earth have been working to find treatments, a vaccine, and ultimately, a cure. So what exactly is COVID-19? What is a “coronavirus”? Where did the disease come from? How do you know if you have it? How is it treated? How do you stop yourself from getting it or passing it on to others? Learn all about the answers to these questions, and one more question on everyone’s mind: When and how will the world go back to normal? Essential Workers, Essential Heroes ISBN: 978-1728427980 COVID-19 has shut down most people’s normal lives. But grocery stores are still open, mail is still delivered, and restaurants are offering meals via delivery. None of this would be possible without the people who are still going to work every day, exposing themselves to the virus so that others can stay home. Most importantly, healthcare workers are doing all they can—putting their own lives at risk—to treat and save those who have contracted the disease. In this book, readers will get inspired by the real-life heroes of one of the largest health crises in human history. Social Distancing ISBN: 978-1728428017

Are you ready to live in a world without handshakes or hugs from anyone outside your home? What about “going to school” via your laptop in your living room? Are you taking your dance class on an iPad? These are just some of the adjustments people have had to make in trying to stop the spread of COVID-19. But what are the best ways to enjoy our lives and interact with friends without socializing in person? Readers will explore how our social lives have changed since COVID-19 began, and how

some of these changes may be around for a while. A Lasting Impact ISBN: 978-1728427997

In early 2020, the USA lost about 25 billion dollars a day during the shutdown caused by COVID-19. Millions of people lost their jobs as thousands of businesses shut down, either temporarily or permanently. How are governments helping people—and businesses— stay afloat? Will there be permanent changes even after the virus is gone? During this “Big Pause,” pollution levels have dropped in many areas of the world—but will that last? Will anything positive come out of this crisis? Learn more about the impacts of the coronavirus, as we look toward a future of hope and healing that may be very different than what we’ve known in the past.
