ABOUT GOOD MORNING ZOOM
The book takes readers on a lyrical journey through our "new normal.” From "Zoom school," to watching doctors and nurses on TV, to building pillow forts and talking to loved ones from a distance, this poignant book expresses the emotions young children might be feeling during the global pandemic and gives voice and hope to our youngest who are replacing school and hugs with technology.

- How to balance a full time job and remote learning with your kid
- How the loss of a personal friend to COVID in April helped inform the book and its mission
