I wrote this 28-page children's picture book during Lockdown originally as a downloadable ebook for kids aged 2-6 years and had it illustrated in gorgeous bright colours. But after lots of interest, the books are published.

I was sent the photo below of a little girl called Lucy reading the book and it's the cutest pic I've ever seen!

Lucy Lou beats the Coronavirus is a rhyming story about Lucy and her family who head out on a social-distancing walk and come across Coronavirus sitting on a park bench. Along with her baby brother Liam, big brother Jake, mummy and daddy, Gran doing the can-can and dear old Gramps, they deal with the virus until it is gone.

This story is a time capsule for families everywhere who will look back to 2020 and remember "the olden days" of social distancing, hand washing, family bubbles and a germ we'd never heard of before. It is also a valuable tool for helping to take the "scary" factor out of the virus as Lucy Lou and her family know what to do.

Lucy Lou Beats the Coronovirus

Delightful book - being given as a Christmas present to my grandaughters.

Thanks Jill, I'm so thrilled you like my little Lucy Lou book! - Megan

So-so

As a teacher, I found this book to be very similar the structure of the early Hairy McClary books. I felt the ending was not as interesting as the beginning of the story.
However, I read it to a class of five-year-olds and they loved it. The book generated a lot of good discussion about their lockdown experiences and going out for walks in their family bubbles. For young children it's a great book to stimulate discussion and memories of a very unusual time in NZ.

Ouch, so-so. I'm not going to lie, that hurt a bit. I'm no Lynley Dodds, but on reading your review that the children loved it and you all had good discussion together, that made me happy. Thanks for your honesty Nan.

I purchased this book for the grandchildren to read when visiting and because it will be a keepsake in the future. It is a colourful book and a fun family story.

Thanks Jeanette! - Megan

Great gift

A book to help any child worried about Covid-19. The rhyming pattern reminiscent of Hairy Maclary books.
