Praise for this book
It was beautifully written. All the stories, poems & artwork are so unique. They show the darkness & chaos of the world with everything happening in the last few years(not just covid), but also the hope & goodness from it, too. So much beauty, emotion & passion in these pages. & I loved how the art pieces had names/captions that read in order like a story of the pandemic, before during & after. Despair, fear, loss, unknowns, then change, hope, reconnection, & excitement for the future. It's hard to describe, but I highly recommend. It's kind of a momento of the times & shows what we lived/are living through.
