Praise for Sheroes of COVID-19:

"So important. So relatable. So human. Sheroes of COVID-19 is an inspiration to

our families in a time when we need just that. This is a great learning opportunity for people as young as 4 and old as 104. It is a leadership book, a geography book,

a hopeful book, and an understanding book."

- Geraldine Laybourne, first President of Nickelodeon and advocate for children

and women

"This special book shows how women are leading during the COVID-19 pandemic.

No matter who you are or where you come from, you can make life better for your community. Just look around you, then take initiative to make things better. And

keep reading and encourage others to do the same "

- Dr. Ronald F. Ferguson, Harvard University Professor and Founder, The Basics

"Everyone can be a leader because everyone can help in some way-even in

a scary time like this. I am sure these amazing women leaders will inspire you,

because when women lead, positive changes happen."
