Coronavirus Learning Companion

Why use Coronavirus Learning Companion?

Understanding the “why” helps everyone stay the course. Knowing why we are asked to wash hands with soap, social distance, wear masks, and get vaccinated makes it easier to keep doing so!

Families are looking for reliable, easy-to-understand information to help kids understand why the current health recommendations are so important. What’s better than reading a story together?

Coronavirus Learning Companion isn’t just for kids! The whirlwind of information shared online can be exhausting. Friendly stories in a comic book format are an enjoyable way for people of all ages to learn something new or just refresh what they already know. Stories are easier to understand, remember, and apply to our own lives!
