Samatha woke up one morning to discover that a virus was making people sick all over the world, and that her school had to close for a while.

At first staying home was fun, but after a while she got bored and lonely. Samantha's experience was felt by children all over the world. Coping with her anxiety by writing in a journal, talking to her friend on Skype, learning a new skill were all ways to make her feel better.

Readers will learn all about the pandemic and lockdown, about the coronavirus called covid 19, how to stay safe, and relate to the emotional side of it. The author hopes that it provides a springboard for further discussions between parents, teachers and children on their experiences and feelings.
