January Book Of The Month

Goodnight Rona: A Pandemic Parody by Stacey Russo is a parody of the classic book Goodnight Moon. For ourselves, 2020 had challenges as we navigated being first time parents during the pandemic, and I know we are not the only ones who felt this way. There’s no doubt that a sense of humor helped us get through the challenging times, and this book brings a humorous yet realistic view of the situation.  Zoom calls for e-learning and work, constant Amazon packages stacked at home, and messes in the house. Goodnight Rona summarizes the pandemic into one easy to read children’s book. Humorous for parents and easy to follow illustrations for children, it’s appropriate for the whole family. Your child may not fully grasp the concept of the relatable pandemic experiences but the illustrations are familiar to the classic Goodnight Moon. This book is sure to be one for your child’s bookshelf or your own as a historical keepsake. There is also a list of pandemic resources at the end of the book which is beneficial to any family struggling during this time.
