Life suddenly changes for Nina, when her mom makes the difficult decision to ‘hide’ in her room. While Mom self-isolates, six-year-old Nina had to tackle new things for herself. It’s hard, but Nina knows the distance between her and Mom is only temporary.
I liked this, but one critique I have is I didn’t like that Nina’s mom just ran into her room and didn’t explain to her daughter what was going on until a while later. This lack of communication left Nina confused and angry, and I can imagine it might even be traumatizing for a kid to go through. I wish there’d been more/quicker communication on Mom’s part. Other than that, though, this is a great way to teach kids about COVID and the precautions we must take to keep ourselves and others safe.
