Reviews of our books
āI once knew a boy who had it, and of course, others werenāt so tolerant towards his condition. I really think this book is such a beautiful way to create awareness of Tourette Syndrome and teaches others to understand it better.ā
āMany of our preschool students with handicaps have been advised to stay at home, and we were looking for age-appropriate information materials for Covid-19. We want to express our gratitude, for giving us the access to this informative, educational and optimistic ebook A Virus has Arrived and we share the same commitment that āall children deserve to knowā.ā
