Why read it?
1 author picked We Wear Masks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The whimsical illustrations in this book caught my attention and captured my heart. The colors in this book are lovely pastels and the text is simple so there’s lots of room to admire the images.

The text is written in sets of rhyming pairs, which are sometimes a stretch. I appreciate that…
From Beth's list on for kids about COVID-19.
