Today, We're Staying Home is a heartfelt illustrated children's book about confinement and social isolation.
This positive story helps foster the creation of a new sense of normality for children deprived of their school or daycare routine. It also offers parents and caretakers an opportunity to bring up sensitive subjects such as shared space in the context of remote work, the virtualisation of social rituals and social distancing with loved ones.
Early childhood educators, teachers and social workers have used the book in the context of their work and have shared it with the children and families they support. The original French version, distributed as a free eBook, has also been recognized, on social media, as a resource to open the dialogue with children about their new reality without daycare or school by the Quebec Minister of Families, Mathieu Lacombe.
Highlighting the tender moments of days that may seem to drag on, Today, We're Staying Home reminds us that although we don't know what tomorrow will bring, we can feel good about today.
