This board book from Amanuta is an effective and heart-warming take on pandemic-era isolation and finding friendship in what can seem like the unlikeliest of places.
Jazmín has a birthday but cannot leave her apartment due to the quarantine. As she gazes out her window, a voice from the neighboring balcony calls her and invites her to play. Bright colors and delicate text follow, perfectly capturing the relatable feelings of yearning for connection, and the unexpected joy that one can find even in the most unusual circumstances. Even post-pandemic, this is a wonderful, relatable story to read and share with your little one.
