Like all good children's books, the story is told in layers: There are the characters and the plot, but there's also the message, broken down into pint-size bits that hit at just the right level for little ears and brains. -- Debra Kamen, On Parenting, The Washington Post</em></p><p><br></p><p>Lucy's Mask</em> helps anxious children learn to feel comfortable with our new mask-wearing reality. -- Caroline Bologna, Huffington Post</em></p><p><br></p><p>Lucy's Mask</em>...tries to engage the little reader's moral sense through the main character's imaginative flight about all the exciting things she can be as soon as her mother finishes making her a mask. It takes just a few words from her mother to convince Lucy that she will be playing a much more important role than an ordinary superhero when she wears a mask that covers her mouth instead of her eyes. That is a kind of everyday heroism we can all emulate..." -- Cotsen Children's Library, Princeton University</em></p><p><br></p><br>
