The best picture books for children of 2022

1. Pandemic

Story Overview:

Pandemic is a true story of community support in the midst of the " Spanish influenza". When faced with a disaster, people are frightened and distressed. But even with all these negative emotions, people are still relentlessly engaged in the "battle" against the virus, generous in their kindness and help: children whose families were not infected got on their bicycles or ponies and rode through the empty streets to help. Some fed the puppies, others fed the chicks and collected the eggs, others weeded the garden and picked the fruits and vegetables... By 1920 the global epidemic was over and a huge celebration party was held. Isolation and kindness and mutual aid during the pandemic eventually won humanity over.

Reason for Recommendation:

This is the fourth year of the COVID-19 and the world is suffering from the virus, as Pandemic portrays it. It shows us how powerful the virus is: three years after the outbreak, the virus is still highly transmissible; and after a century, we still rely mainly on masks and isolation to deal with this contagious virus. We are informed the kindness and mutual help that humanity has never lacked, and children are shown how they can contribute in the midst of an epidemic virus. In the history of mankind, no epidemic has ever truly crushed humanity, and I believe this one will be no exception.

Therefore, the little boy went to his grandfather's house with him to look for it, and went around the town, but never remembered what the thing he forgot to do was...
